VCF Forum December 2017 - Together for Good

The topic for the final Forum of 2017 was chosen based on public feedback. They believed that despite a number of attempts to re-think commissioning, the talents and expertise of the VCF sector
still aren’t being effectively harnessed.

Our VCF (Voluntary, Community, and Faith sector) Forums bring together decision makers, members of the public, and those working across voluntary and statutory organisations. We discuss topics related to the health & wellbeing of local people. Find out more here.

Together for good

For this Forum, we were pleased to welcome Councillor Olivia Blake, Deputy Leader of Sheffield City Council to present on the Council’s approach to inclusive commissioning.  We also heard from Professor Mark Gamsu, who spoke to the Forum about his experience of the way that statutory commissioners engage with the voluntary sector.

A Q&A with the panel gave attendees the chance to find out more, and share their views on how this could be improved.
