• Administrators and Practitioners in government bodies would welcome ideas that improve the quality of life for all citizens
  
• It is possible to empower government bodies by making freely available ideas that could work in their local environment
• If appropriate ideas are generically available, local government body CEOs and their team would adapt them suitably and take it forward under their leadership
• Ideas which take shape through this process in local bodies have a greater chance of success over those 'pushed' by external bodies
• The trust does not expect any acknowledgement for use of any of the ideas set out in its forum. It hopes that some of its ideas find form across government bodies.
