Our role is to provide a Hub for exchange of information, knowledge and good practice; to support practitioner learning through our events; to influence and share policies that impact on towns; and to raise the profile of towns which we do principally through our Scotlands Towns Week (17 - 23 November) campaign which encourages towns to run activities and the public to use their local services.

The Global Partnerships Forum brings together leaders from across sectors to address global challenges, that foster economic growth and help achieve greater prosperity around the world. Working in support of the UNs 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the GPF aims to move beyond aid to economic empowerment using the power of partnerships. In 1997 when Ted Turner committed US$1 billion to support UN causes, it became clear that the needs of the underprivileged could not be solved unilaterally, but require multiple constituencies to collaborate in support of common goals. This was the genesis of the Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships Model - using the expertise of the private sector, normative leadership of the public sector, and successful delivery mechanisms of civil society. We collaborate with business leaders, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, investors, and thought leaders from across sectors – to encourage investments that also promote social good and work towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
