Have Your Say: VCS Alliance Brings Consultation Roadshow to Bradford District and Craven
21st May 2026
The VCS Alliance is calling on voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations across Bradford District and Craven to take part in a series of in-person consultations this June, and the message is clear: every voice genuinely matters.
Across 14 locations, the Alliance is bringing conversations directly into communities, making it as easy as possible for VCSE organisations of all sizes to have their say on something that will shape the future of the sector.
What is it about?
The consultations are focused on the emerging Place Provider Partnership (PPP), a significant development in how the VCSE sector will work alongside the Health and Care System in Bradford District and Craven. These sessions are an opportunity for organisations to understand what the PPP means for them, ask questions, and crucially, feed their views directly into how it takes shape.
This is not a tick-box exercise. The Alliance is genuinely listening, and the breadth of voices in the room will directly influence the outcome.
Why does your attendance matter?
The VCSE sector in Bradford is rich, diverse and deeply embedded in communities across the district. But that diversity needs to be reflected in these conversations. Whether you are a small grassroots community group or a larger established organisation, your experience and perspective are exactly what the Alliance needs to hear.
Every seat filled is another voice heard. The more organisations represented across these 14 sessions, the stronger and more representative the outcome will be for the whole sector.
How do I find out more before attending?
If you’d like to get up to speed on the Place Provider Partnership ahead of your session, the Alliance hosted an online PPP information session on 5th May 2026. The full recording is available to watch here: https://youtu.be/mOvwRxU2qj0
How do I book?
The Alliance is hosting sessions across all Community Partnership Areas in Bradford District and Craven throughout June 2026. Full details of dates, times and venues are available on the VCS Alliance Eventbrite page.
Not sure which Community Partnership Area your organisation falls under? Don’t worry, simply choose the session closest to you.
Please share this with any VCSE organisations in your network. The more organisations that take part, the stronger the sector’s voice will be.
