About Us

The Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector in Hertfordshire is made up of thousands of organisations — from small, volunteer-led charities and community-based faith groups to large social enterprises employing hundreds of staff and supporting thousands of people.

These organisations bring a wide range of skills and experience to help people stay well, care for themselves and their families, feel connected to their communities, and know that they are valued.

The Hertfordshire VCFSE Alliance is a network of these organisations. We work closely with the NHS, local councils, and other partners in the Integrated Care System to ensure that everyone can access the support they need, when they need it.

The Alliance is led by a steering group made up of 8 elected leaders from VCFSE organisations across Hertfordshire, along with an associate member from Healthwatch Hertfordshire. Day-to-day secretariat functions, operations and delivery is supported by two Alliance staff members.

What is the role of the Steering Group?

 

To support and promote the VCFSE Alliance and its members across governance and decision-making bodies as well as different workstream programmes across the Integrated Care System (ICS) at system or place level.

To facilitate communication between public sector organisations and the VCFSE sector, primarily through the two-way communication mechanism of the VCFSE Alliance, as well as developing relationships across sectors to ensure strong communication is developed and maintained.
