It is essential that the role of the VCSE sector is recognised and embedded in shaping health and social care services. We strongly believe the contribution of the VCSE sector is crucial to meet the needs of all individuals and communities in improving care and health outcomes. We also know there is a need for better recognition of the sectors role and expertise in effective service delivery.
Here’s a roundup of recent developments and ongoing work:
Local Government Reorganisation
District and Borough Councils are seeking views on the North, City, South proposal and this runs out on the 20th July 2025. There is a dedicated website www.northcitysouth.co.uk to help gather the views and share information.
