To update members on the voluntary & community sector partnership arrangements anad activities and the commissioning programme for October 2021 to March 2022.

The Scrutiny Commission received an update on the voluntary & community sector (VCS) partnership. Members felt that the work of the VCS and the partnership with the authority had a great impact. It was again noted that the council’s support for the VCS was not a statutory requirement but added value to the sector for the benefit of Hinckley & Bosworth residents.

Members paid tribute to Edwina Grant who would soon be leaving the authority after 15 years and had led the partnership since its inception.

It was suggested that the added value of the VCS be calculated to demonstrate the benefits provided.

The report was endorsed.
