Community Action Redbridge has a key role building, supporting and convening partnerships across Redbridge. Depending on the need for a partnership it may involve our diverse local communities, voluntary and community sector organisations or our wider local partners, including those involved in health and care.

As part of this work we have taken steps to develop the foundations needed for improved partnership working across Redbridge. We have also focused on ideas of leadership in local systems, we want to move past representation to a place where the voluntary sector are regarded as equal partners working towards greater equity for all, and local people have a voice, can influence in places of power and create their own health and wellbeing.

As a result of a successful bid into the Redbridge Place Health Inequalities Fund we received funding for 1 year from October 2023 to develop a co-designed VCSE Partnership Strategy for Redbridge.

The strategy will be published summer 2024 and will provide a framework for the development of VCSE partnership, representation and leadership across Redbridge.
