VCSE Power

The #VCSEPower Events are quarterly events to collate, showcase and celebrate the good practice, expertise, and outcomes of the VCSE sector working with the health and care partners to improve health and wellbeing within Bradford District & Craven, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Wakefield across the sector and with the wider health and care system.

For 2022-23, the Harnessing the Power of Communities Leadership Group (HPoC) consisting of the VCSE infrastructure organisation in each Place agreed a set of themes connected to wider pieces of work occurring across the West Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership.

Our next VCSE Power coincides with NHS 75, and the Harnessing the Power of Communities would like to mark the occasion by collating an online library of stories, case studies and videos from the VCSE Sector to feature on our website. As the 5th of July 2023 is the official date that marks 75 years of the NHS, we would like to use this opportunity to recognise the key role of the VCSE sector in founding the NHS and in working ever closer together since its inception. Therefore, we will also be promoting VCSE Power on Twitter through the @WYPartnership handle using the #VCSEPower, highlighting examples of submissions throughout the week commencing 3rd July.
