Torbay Adult Social Care Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Alliance

Torbay Council has a strong commitment to supporting voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector groups to ensure local people are at the heart of our approach. We have also been seeking to encourage further development of our partnership by involving the VCSE sector in how we allocate funds to ensure monies are well used for the benefit local people.

We are planning to set up an Alliance of VCSE groups to meet these aspirations. This will involve asking this Alliance to engage as widely as possible with the community to help us capture new and innovative ideas and be involved in the procurement process to allocate these funds.

The Alliance with communicate with the community widely and comprehensively to ask for projects, schemes and ideas that would support vulnerable people, help with well-being and social isolation, and supplement the Adult Social Care system in Torbay.

We are looking for VCSE groups to sit on the Alliance Board with the Head of Commissioning at the Council to assess applications for funding which could be funded from the Adult Social Care precept and be part of the procurement process. We are seeking groups interested in promoting innovation from a range of different backgrounds and interests. Organisations will be financially compensated for their time working with the Alliance.
