Notice Description

This project aims to bolster that resilience so that the VCSE (voluntary, community, and social enterprise) are sustainable, viable and can continue to support communities now and into the future. This program aims to support the VCSE sector in Surrey, helping them develop sustainable business models and serve the community effectively. It will provide immediate support, resources, and training to create financially sustainable community organizations. Key benefits of this program: 1. Empowering third sector leaders (and potentially select residents) to develop their community services or initiatives. 2. Offering direct support, guidance, and resources for community organizations. 3. Strengthening Surrey County Council's ability to work with community providers. 4. Building skills and confidence in council staff to support residents and key VCSE organisations. 5. Enhancing Surrey's Councils for Voluntary Services. The program will learn and adapt, working directly with organizations (including charities, social enterprises, micro-providers, and community businesses) to create resources and long-term plans that assist those organizations to consider their business models, governance structures and financial/fundraising strategies. The aim is to encourage long term sustainability and resilience.
