LOCAL: the Lancashire VCFSE sector vision

VSNW are helping to faciliate a conversation across the sector in Lancashire, including Blackpool and Blackburn & Darwen. This year will see significant changes across the region from NHS reconfiguration, withdrawal of EU sibsidies and the ongoing pandemic. LOCAL has been set up with the help of a representative group of Lancashire VCFSE leaders to create a shared vision in time for the upcoming local elections.

LOCAL wants to encourage the input of as many organisations as possibe across the Lancashire 14; this can be done through the online comment forum, or by organisations running their own. The idea is to understand what is important to the sector and how these visions can be achieved. To help kick start the conversation, the leaders have devised some suggested priorities; it is then up to those who want to get involved to discuss what this looks like and if anything has been missed.

Ideally, this 10-week conversation will lead to a significant mandate & the vision can be presented to the hopeful candidates in time for May’s election.

For more information and to participate in the conversation, find tools to run your own events, comms and more, please take a look at the website: www.locallancashire.org.uk
