In this episode of Leadership Live, Charlie Brookes explores how Wigan has transformed health and social care through a neighbourhood approach rooted in community leadership.

Joined by Councillor Keith Cunliffe, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Adult Social Care, and Claire Burnham, Assistant Director of Neighbourhoods, the discussion brings to life a model built on trust, partnership and shared responsibility.

At the heart of Wigan’s transformation is Progress with Unity, a bold agreement uniting the council, partners, businesses, VCFSE organisations and residents to reshape how public services work with communities.

The episode highlights how neighbourhoods have been designed around local need, the behaviours that have enabled this shift, and how partners have been aligned behind a shared vision.
