The Trafford Partnership is the Borough's Local Strategic Partnership, a single body which brings together more than 100 organisations including key local and regional partners, across the public, private, voluntary and community sectors. Its primary purpose is to enhance the quality of life and prosperity for all Trafford's residential and business communities.

It provides a coherent focus and real leadership for the work of a number of thematic partnerships tackling the issues which are important to local people, businesses and community organisations alike. These thematic partnerships include:

• Safer Trafford
• Healthier Trafford
• Learning and Skills
• Economic prosperity
• Housing
• Quality environment
• Transport
• Culture - a way of life
• Older People
• Sustainable neighbourhoods
• Community cohesion and diversity
• Bright futures

These thematic partnerships work across the '7 key objectives'.

As a partnership we are committed to improving public services, achieving sustainable economic growth, protecting and sustaining a high quality environment and making sure that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from and contribute to an improving quality of life and growing prosperity.

As ambassadors for the local area, the Trafford Partnership is also committed to promoting Trafford as one of the best places to live, learn, work and relax and to start and grow a business in the North West. By working together effectively we believe that it can be even better - in fact the best!
