The Stronger Together Network began as an informal network of organisations who work predominantly with culturally and linguistically diverse communities. The key outcomes of the group were increased sharing of information and identification of partnership opportunities.

In 2012, the network successfully applied for funding to allow the network to become more formalised and structured. There are currently over 150 members representing BME Organisations and Groups, BME individuals, Community Sector, Volunteer Sector and Public Service Sector. 

The three key aims are to:

• Share information and knowledge
• Provide a useful and central shared resource to connect service providers within the sector
• Identify new opportunities for partnership and innovation

We are doing that through a number of mediums including:

• The development of a website for service providers which will allow easy
  access to region specific information about upcoming events, new research, best
  practice resources and programs, funding opportunities and policy information.
• Annual conference providing workshops and presentations on themes specific to
  the sector.
• Weekly E-Alerts including (but not limited to) information from members about local events, program updates, call for support, and professional development opportunities.
• Quarterly professional development seminars and workshops for members on topics identified as relevant to the sector.
• Projects in partnership Stronger Together members and stakeholders.
