“A strong, flexible and sustainable VCSE partnership is at the very heart of what makes our communities tick.

 

The helping hand that they can offer can make the real difference to people living independently, helping people getting back on their feet and supporting people with their lives.

 

This is an opportunity now to build on the excellent value and excellent services offered by our partners as we continue to emerge from the Covid pandemic”.

 

Cllr Victoria Wilson, Cabinet Member for Communities and Culture
