The VCSE Alliance

The VCSE Alliance was launched on 23rd November 2022 and 106 organisations have already joined the VCSE Alliance Directory.

The benefits of becoming a VCSE Alliance member include receiving a monthly newsletter, being able to bid for local NHS funding opportunities, invitations to events and webinars, and access to the VCSE Alliance Forum.


Current funding opportunity only available to VCSE Alliance members:


Focused geographical communities work to support winter pressures (deadline 5 February 2023)
Voluntary and community sector organisations based in Leicester City are invited to bid for funding to reach out to people and communities who have used A&E at Leicester Royal Infirmary, but could have been more appropriately seen and treated elsewhere. The contract term will run from February 2023 to end of April 2023 and the ICB will award maximum of £5,500 per VCSE organisation. More information, including the specification, can be found on the Alliance and Opportunities Hub on the VCSE Alliance webspace (accessible to members via: https://leicesterleicestershireandrutland.icb.nhs.uk/be-involved/vcse-introduction/)

The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board (ICB) has been working closely with the voluntary and community sector about establishing a new way of working, involving people in decisions about designing and providing services.


A strong and effective ICB and in the long term wider Integrated Care System (ICS) will have a deep understanding of all the people and communities it serves. We want to create a genuine partnership arrangement with the voluntary and community sector, social enterprises, and individual communities, initially with NHS and overtime across all partners.


To help us to deliver the Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) Alliance, we would like to invite you to join today. Read more and find out how to join here.
