iNetwork is a membership organisation based in Greater Manchester and proudly hosted by Tameside Council. Bringing together more than 70 organisations across the Northwest, Yorkshire and the Humber, we provide a strong collective voice for the public sector, helping members address shared challenges and seize opportunities for improvement.
Our mission is to support public sector organisations in driving innovation, transformation and collaboration to deliver better outcomes for citizens. We create trusted environments where professionals can connect openly, share experiences, exchange ideas and work together to solve complex organisational challenges. By fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing, we help accelerate positive change across the public sector.
Whether you are new to iNetwork or looking to expand your professional network, there are many ways to get involved. Attend one of our events, join a peer support group, or connect directly with our team to learn more about the benefits of membership.
Membership is open to local public sector organisations across the UK and provides access to a wide range of opportunities and resources, including:
- Service redesign and improvement training
- Expert intelligence and advice
- Professional networking and peer support
- Sector-led workshops and collaborative learning
- Briefings on emerging policy and key developments
As a partnership dedicated to supporting the public sector, our focus is on helping organisations learn from one another, innovate together and deliver meaningful change.
In an increasingly complex and fast-changing environment, collaboration has never been more important. The best ideas often emerge through shared experiences, and innovation spreads more effectively through trusted peer networks.
iNetwork helps organisations connect, learn and collaborate through more than 50 events each year. Our events are designed as safe spaces for open and honest conversations, enabling members to discuss challenges, share solutions and explore new approaches.
We also help members find practical solutions to organisational issues and engage directly with government departments on matters that affect the sector, ensuring that the collective voice of our membership is heard and represented.
iNetwork is hosted by Tameside Council on behalf of the partnership. Strategic direction and resource allocation are overseen by the iNetwork Executive Board, ensuring that our activities remain aligned with the needs and priorities of our members.
In addition, iNetwork hosts iStandUK, supporting its mission to advance public sector data standards.
Become part of a growing community committed to sharing knowledge, driving innovation and improving public services. Together, we can create better outcomes for the communities we serve.
