Today we paid a visit to the Home Office, following up on our conversation about the potential of rolling out our Income Management System for use by other organisations.

Our Head of IT ([Dave](https://twitter.com/davidrob2002)) and I met with colleagues from the Local Gov Collaboration Unit (part of the Ministry of Housing, Culture and Local Government) and the Gov.UK Pay Product Team (part of the Government Digital Service) today - specifically [<NAME>](https://twitter.com/bforben), [<NAME>](https://twitter.com/AdamThoulass), [<NAME>](https://twitter.com/egle_a_ieva), [<NAME>](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/katie-bates-a053b236), [<NAME>](https://twitter.com/MiriamAliceR) and [<NAME>](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/richardblake86) joined via Google Hangout.

We wanted to discuss our vision for our [Income Management Solution](/blog/council-software-backed-for-national-rollout/), how a rollout might work and how we might be supported with the collaborative aspects of making it happen. We're really proud of our software and we believe very much in the [#FixThePlumbing](https://twitter.com/hashtag/FixThePlumbing) ethos. We just feel we need help to "get it out there".

So as the Local Government Collaboration Unit are running the [Local Digital initiative](https://localdigital.gov.uk/) - a growing community of organisations working together with a shared vision to deliver more user-centred, cost-effective local public services through open, collaborative and reusable work - we thought it the best place to start. 

We co-signed the [Local Digital Declaration](https://localdigital.gov.uk/declaration/) in 2018 which the initiative is drawn together around and we watched with interest as Minister Rishi Sunak announced the funding made available to provide training to all signatories and to support selected collaborative projects.
