VCFSE organisations — we want your say

We’re asking VCFSE groups across Cheshire and Merseyside (C&M) to help shape how we work with our local NHS.

Through our C&M VCFSE Alliance for health and care, we’re developing a new memorandum of understanding with NHS Cheshire and Merseyside (the ICB) — and it needs to be grounded in what works for our sector and our communities.

• What does fair partnership look like?
• What needs to improve?
• How can we work better together?

Complete the online survey by Friday 29 May 2026 https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/23SLLCT

Your input will directly influence future NHS / VCFSE working across the area.

Please share with other VCFSE organisations

This week, One Knowsley was proud to take part in the ReCITE Knowsley Learning Event at Shakespeare North Playhouse, bringing together community organisations, health partners, researchers and strategic stakeholders from across the Liverpool City Region.

The event created an opportunity to share learning, celebrate innovation and explore how community-led approaches can help tackle health inequalities and strengthen neighbourhood working.

As a key ReCITE partner, One Knowsley is proud to play a leading role in delivering and shaping community innovation, particularly through its leadership of two Community Innovation Team programmes:
✨ Every Breath Matters
✨ Food for Thought

Both projects highlight the power of creative, hyperlocal approaches to improving health and wellbeing within communities.

Thank you to Knowsley’s VCSFE sector for your insight, collaboration and leadership, and to everyone involved in delivering such an inspiring and collaborative day of shared learning and discussion.
