Service Aims

  • To support and develop high quality management and governance within voluntary organisations that provide preventive and social care and health services within Brighton and Hove.
  • To support the development of new preventive and social care and health services within Brighton and Hove within the voluntary sector.

The project works alongside other support organisations within Brighton and Hove to help voluntary organisations develop the skills and knowledge to provide excellent community services.

  • Management Support and Advice
  • Governance
  • Policies & Procedures
  • Funding / fundraising / bid writing
  • Monitoring / Evaluation

The service provides support with organisational development using a quality framework called PQASSO which identifies a number of organisational responsibilities and identifies standards which the organisation could achieve.

Areas of organisational support include:

* Strategic management and development of organisations

* Working with organisations to support mergers, collaboration and new partnerships
