Latest weekly discussion with the Metro Mayor
On Monday 4th May, members of the VS6 Partnership were pleased to join a call with the Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram. A number of items were discussed including an update on the VCFSE sector’s response to Covid-19 and issues facing the sector. It was highlighted how the VCFSE Sector is reacting to Covid in a number of broadly defined and overlapping ways:
Response: Direct action and reshaping of current services to address the impact of the Crisis.
Redesign: Redesigning frontline VCFSE services to deal with current operating environment
Recovery: At this stage, assessing business/organisational/trading models and drawing on reserves, but moving towards a more consistent and strategic approach to developing sustainable models for VCFSE organisations & communities.
VS6 pledged to continue to be the conduit for feedback from the sector and is planning a series of online meetings with VCFSE organisations themed around specific issues, with the aim of identifying the pinch points and what the challenges are for the Sector and our communities.
