VCFSE Engagement Group meeting
The first meeting of the new Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE ) Engagement Group takes place online on the 7th of August 2025 between 2-3.30pm.
All are welcome – from all parts of the VCFSE sector in West Northamptonshire.
Please note that a similar vehicle exists in North Northamptonshire so if you work within that part of the County ONLY, please contact sean.silver@groundwork.org.uk
We all know that Co-Production and Commissioning needs VCFSE support. We also know the landscape is challenging and complex. There are changes in political administration, within the ICB, within Place, and within the NHS.
The VCFSE needs a collective engagement point where we can coalesce. This first initial launch will enable us to focus. The Engagement Group is brought to you by Social Action West Northants (SAWN), the Infrastructure Partnership for West Northamptonshire. This is a VCFSE space only, where confidentiality will be observed and genuine discussion allowed. From this group we can start to piece some statements together about what we are all feeling – and take this through the requisite architecture of the Local Authority and the ICB.
