Collaboration between VCSE organisations and Health to champion better heath and wellbeing

The VCSE Collaborative, which represents the wider VCSE sector as part of the Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership (HNY HCP), meets on a monthly basis. Following each meeting they share an overview of the discussions with the wider VCSE sector to update you on the Collaborative’s activities.

Working with West Yorkshire Health & Care Partnership

We work closely with the Partnership to ensure a strong connection between VCSE organisations and Health. The Partnership covers the majority of Craven (with the exception of Bentham and Ingleton which are part of the Lancashire and South Cumbria Health and Care Partnership), as well as the rest of West Yorkshire.

We work closely with the Partnership on the Harnessing the Power of Communities (HPoC) programme to connect them with VCSE organisations. The aim of the programme is to act as a catalyst for change, facilitating new opportunities for VCSE organisations to better engage in shaping services and decision making, and challenging the ways we work in health and care to ensure greater inclusivity and accessibility in commissioning and service provision.
