What’s It Like?
• Is 2-Way• Too often considered that the council
should involve ULO but DD believes it should be vice-versa too e.g. DD involves the council in our funding bids such as Big Help project
• Share ideas with each other• Open hot-line of communication
between heads of both groups

What’s It Like?
• It’s great being able to move things fast whilst LA’s have to go through red tape
• It’s also a very equal partnership, no party more demanding than the other
• Actually listen to us e.g.• www.dowhatyouwant.org
