Consultation Roadshow for VCSE Sector in Bradford and Craven

Opportunities for Local Organisations to Contribute to Health and Care Partnership Plans

The Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in Bradford District and Craven is invited to participate in a series of in-person consultation events throughout June 2026. These sessions aim to gather input from a wide range of organisations on the development of the Place Provider Partnership (PPP), a new collaborative approach involving the VCSE sector and the local Health and Care System.

What Is the Place Provider Partnership?

The PPP represents a significant change in how voluntary and community organisations will engage with health and social care services in the region. The partnership seeks to create a more integrated and collaborative framework, enabling the sector to contribute effectively to local health and care outcomes. The consultation events provide an opportunity for organisations to learn about the PPP, ask questions, and share their views on its future direction.

Details of the Consultation Roadshow

• Location: 14 venues across Bradford District and Craven
• Timing: Various dates throughout June 2026
• Participants: VCSE organisations of all sizes, from grassroots groups to larger entities
• Purpose: To ensure diverse perspectives from the sector are included in shaping the PPP

The organisers emphasise that these consultations are not merely formalities; the feedback collected will directly influence how the partnership develops. They encourage attendance from a broad spectrum of organisations to ensure the sector’s diversity is reflected in the discussions.
