ChangeUp
The East London ChangeUp Partnership has a vision of “a strong and vibrant Voluntary and Community Sector [VCS] which has a positive impact on the lives of those who live, work, learn and play in East London.”
It seeks to achieve this vision by developing suitable and active infrastructures across East London, where Voluntary and Community Organisations [VCOs] can access a full range of quality support services.
This will enable those organisations to deliver high quality and accessible services to local communities.
The Partnership has an agreed Terms of Reference and membership is open to infrastructure organisations and public sector agencies working in two or more East London boroughs.
The East London CVS Network will support the East London ChangeUp Partnership to deliver its aims and in particular:
- Provide facilitation of the East London ChangeUp Partnership
- Ensure the implementation of the Business Plan [including the development of Key Performance Indicators and monitor progress]
- Commission additional strategies as required
- Co-ordinate projects
- Provide guidance on the development of projects
- Ensure that issues of sustainability are addressed
The Infrastructure Development Strategy 2008-14 and Infrastructure Business Plan 2008-11 [ January 2008] identified infrastructure support needs that can be best met at a sub-regional level.
The East London Partnership is ambitious and as part of our success strategy we are committed to annually reviewing both our progress against targets and our effectiveness as a partnership.
During the coming year (2010-2011) we will be focusing again on delivery as set out within our business plan.
In addition we have identified 4 new priorities:
| Develop an East London specific understanding of equalities and diversity and through this understanding develop a strategy that will ensure we are better able to support delivery both by infrastructure organisations and through front line organisations | Develop a succession strategy to support us as we enter the final year of Consortium Development Grant and to ensure continuation of effective partnership working when Partnership membership changes |
| Develop a case for partnership, primarily aimed at the statutory sector but for use with all stakeholders | Refresh our engagement strategy and ensure it includes an influencing strategy for us to have national impact |
Five Years of ChangeUp
“Five Years of ChangeUp”, is a report which has been compiled by the East London Partnership to demonstrate some of our achievements and the positive results of the ChangeUp programme.
As you may be aware, the ten-year ChangeUp initiative was launched by the Government in 2004, aimed at strengthening the voluntary and community sector and support organisations to become fully engaged in civic life and the delivery of services in the community.
The East London Partnership brings together ten boroughs, north and south of the river in East London, and some other infrastructure bodies active in the area. Our report demonstrates the positive effect of the ChangeUp programme on our work together and within each of our boroughs.
We hope you will find the report interesting and encouraging. At a time when public funding and services are under particular scrutiny, we are concerned to show the effectiveness of the ChangeUp programme and increase support for its continuation to the end of its scheduled ten year timeframe.
