Local Voluntary Partnerships Programme - VCSE Consultancy

Notice Description

Our Integrated Community Networks Plus (ICN+) programme is developing multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) aligned to the six Croydon localities. The voluntary sector is an essential partner and we want to enable MDT working across the voluntary and statutory sector, to make our vision a reality. We have been successful in bringing together external funding from the National Lottery/King's Fund Healthy Communities Together programme and NHS Charities Together, in addition to existing system resources to help us realise our ambitions and the full potential of partnership-working. Our vehicle for achieving the transformation is the Local Voluntary Partnership (LVP) Programme. The LVP programme has three key workstreams: 1. Funding and Commissioning 2. Local Empowerment and Engagement 3. Leadership and Representation We are looking to procure Consultancy services from a VCSE Specialist in joining together and facilitating the role of the VCSE in the LVP Programme.
