Single point of contact/access for public/organisation into vol/c sector.
Publicity + marketing (shaped) eg can we have a link website for all vol ops/orgs.
Volunteers needed for all ops need funded support/recruitment to get volunteers.
Lack of funding and lack of volunteers to pick up work.
Local affordable/supported housing for local people
Effective forms of consultation at the right time (hopefully will be addressed by this new process)
Transport - costly for local people
Lack of funding for community groups.
eg. too much time chasing grants
eg. lack of Trusts willing to fund core costs/staffing
eg. statutory sector offloading clients onto voluntary sector without funding
eg lack of clarity on who CCG decision makers are regarding funding
eg. CCG moving funding goalposts
eg. rural communities smaller numbers of people
Idea - central commercial contract team available to voluntary sector to provide expertise for tenders.
Marketing and PR - opportunities; skills and resources to positively promote the organisation to increase investment.
