Community and VCSE Development Programme Engagement

ESCC, 3VA, Rother VA, Hastings VA, SCDA, AirS and other statutory stakeholders are working together to co-develop a future Community and VCSE Development Programme.

This programme will build on the success of recent activities, which have proved the benefit and value of collaborating across sectors to meet our shared priorities. It will enable partners within the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector to continue to play a key role in partnership working with the public sector, communities and local grass-roots groups in East Sussex.

As part of the co-development, we have produced a framework based on the successes and strategic priorities from recent programmes like Generic Infrastructure Services, Making It Happen and Community Networks Support. This framework will form the basis of the new Community and VCSE Development Programme.

We are offering you the opportunity to review and respond to that framework so that we can ensure the programme benefits us all and builds on ‘what works’ for our communities in East Sussex.

We have created a document (linked below) which explains the framework in more detail and contains a short survey for you to share your insight.
