Description

There are many examples of excellent social action taking place in communities across Cheshire East. As such, the Council and NHS Commissioners wish to coordinate and stimulate this further, by providing assistance through a 'Social Action Partnership Service'. This service will provide a range of support to the Voluntary Community Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) Sector to help them to undertake social action. This will enable the sector to develop and flourish locally, particularly through the building of local connections and partnerships between organisations and sectors
The service will be delivered as a long-term partnership with the Local Authority founded on a series of core values including mutual trust, collaboration and innovation. This relationship will help to guide how the Council works with the VCFSE in the future, as well as its approach to transforming the wider health and social care system.
This contract will be for an initial 3 year term, with 2 x 12 months options to extend. The maximum price for this contract will be £150K per annum, with an additional £20k in year 1 for mobilisation costs.
The service vision is to develop a strong local social impact culture through effective social action, which is underpinned by a thriving Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise Sector.
The overall aim of the service is to enhance social action in Cheshire East leading to greater and more effective social impact.
