Working with Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise Organisations

The Trust developed new programmes to improve standards of care for all our community mental health services to ensure community services better meet the needs of adults who use our service, using learning from service user, carer and staff engagement activities and previous initiatives.

As part of this programme we built on our work with community partners and strengthen our links with our voluntary, community and social enterprise colleagues, and are invested more than £2m in voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSE) offering community services, with a significant amount going to local grassroots organisations to help shape a bold transformation of mental health care in the community.
