The Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE)

The Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector is a key NHS partner, working strategically and operationally to improve health, wellbeing and care outcomes in the community and within health settings.

The ICS-funded VCSE Partnership Programme is hosted by VONNE (Voluntary Organisations’ Network North East) and Cumbria CVS (Council for Voluntary Services) to ensure coverage across the ICS geographic footprint. The Programme supports and enables this partnership work, including the formation of a VCSE Ageing Well sub-group, open to all VCSE organisations who support older people. The sub-group is integrated with the Ageing Well workstream, including VCSE representation on the Regional Steering Group, within the Community of Practice and as part of emerging work and plans across the ICS.

For further information on the VCSE Partnership Programme or the VCSE Ageing Well sub-group, please contact VCSE Deputy Programme Manager Lisa Taylor lisa.taylor@vonne.org.uk
