ABOUT US
WHO ARE WE?
The Truth about Local Government is more than a platform; it's a movement dedicated to empowering local authorities and their supply chains and helping them to be as effective as possible at tackling the challenges they are facing. Our mission is to create a national echo chamber, where innovation, collaboration and solution orientated action is supported and then shared for free, with all local government officers and members. Through our podcast, articles, and videos, we aim to unlock the sector's potential, fundamentally helping local authorities deliver the very best outcomes for their communities.
At our core, we are catalysts for transformation, committed to amplifying the voices of those within the local government arena. We foster an environment ripe for collaboration and shared knowledge. Through our multimedia approach, we endeavour to inspire change and foster progress within the sector. By championing the principles of innovation, collaboration, and sharing, we embark on a collective journey towards realizing a future brimming with possibility and progress.
The truth is that as a sector if we collaborate, innovate and share, we can solve the problems we must overcome to support the communities we serve. Together, let us forge new pathways, challenge existing paradigms, and connect the best talent in the local authorities and their supply chain.
This is the place to go if you have a problem or a solution for local government.
ABOUT US
MEET OUR HOST
Introducing Matt Masters, the founder and driving force behind our podcast and platform. Matt is passionate about the local government sector and wants to bring together the best people and solutions to reduce inefficiencies and provide the greatest outcomes for councils and their residents.
Both within local government and its supply chain, the innovation, creativity and passion is incredibly impressive. However, we need to ensure that we are not trying to re-create the wheel, when a solution has already been found. We need to be open to embracing new ideas, as local authorities have to do increasingly more without further financial support.
This platform is a free resource to help the amazing people that work in local government and its supply chain to deliver the very best service that they can. It is not a political platform, but serves as a promoter and ambassador for the sector with the public and other sectors.
Whilst each local authority will have nuances, the methodology and matrix of decisions used to create a solution, can be adjusted and applied to create a tailored solution.
Be involved and share what is working for you and speak out if you need support to tackle an issue. Together, as a sector, our potential is unlimited!
