Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise Sector Engagement and Collaboration Survey

The Waltham Forest Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector Leadership Group (VCS LG) was created to help support and strengthen VCSE involvement in Health & Social Care throughout the borough. 

The VCS LG are excited to be able to share this Health and Care Partnership funded opportunity which will allow us to work together to create healthier and happier communities. 

Our mission is to connect with you, our community groups, and organisations at the heart of Waltham Forest.
Often our voices and those of marginalised communities are not heard and we want this to change.

This survey is your opportunity to have your say, create change and shape the health & social care sector. 
 
It is the first of a range of short surveys created to connect with you and share insights at the grassroots level to drive change. 
 
By taking part in these surveys, we can offer you: 
  • Commissioning opportunities
  • Partnerships
  • Skills exchange
  • Specialist access to wider programmes
that will lead to improvements for your groups and people using your services.
 
Your participation in these surveys is incredibly valuable.
Together we will shape the system to work collaboratively with our Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Sector (VCSE) and the communities we support. Together we are stronger. 
 
Please note- This survey is for people working within or with voluntary and community sector organisations, including volunteers.
