What is the Worcestershire VCSE Alliance Forum?
Worcestershire VCSE Alliance Forum will be a membership of VCSE organisations that are committed to working together to help make Worcestershire a better and healthier place to live and work.. The aim of the Alliance Forum is to create a unified and stronger voice for the VCSE sector, developing ways to work more effectively with public sector partners and within the Integrated Care System (ICS).The first Forum meeting will be held on May 22nd. There will be 3 meetings each year.
ICS partners will be invited to future Forum meetings, providing you with the opportunity to speak directly to commissioners and decision makers. In addition, a key priority of the Alliance is to actively communicate your feedback from the Forum to the relevant ICS partner.
At the May Forum meeting you can learn more about :

- How the Alliance works with Representatives from the VCSE sector to communicate and influence at strategic level

The Alliance was set up to support Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations to become partners within the Integrated Care System (ICS) in the delivery of improvements in health and wellbeing and reducing inequalities. VCSE organisations play a critical role within local health and care systems both as service providers, as vehicles for community engagement and giving a voice to people and communities. You can learn more about the work that has been taking place over the past 18 months to establish the Worcestershire VCSE Alliance.
