Cardiff and Vale UHB has been working with partners to review the Strategic Framework for Working with the Third Sectorwhich sets out the UHB’s ambitions for working collaboratively with the Third Sector to enhance the lives of individuals and communities in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. A questionnaire was circulated and structured interviews undertaken to help explore how the UHB and Third Sector can work together to maximise the Third Sector contribution to the UHB Strategy Shaping Our Future Wellbeing, and what the relationship needs to look like in the future.

The next phase of the review will be to bring the findings from this survey work to the annual UHB ‘Keeping in Touch with the Third Sector’ event. This year it will be run as a joint workshop with Glamorgan Voluntary Services (GVS), Cardiff Third Sector Council (C3SC) and Cardiff and Vale Action for Mental Health (Cavamh) to allow Third Sector, UHB and partner colleagues to come together to explore where collaboration is best focused to support delivery of the Shaping Our Future Wellbeing Strategy.

We’ll be introducing Shaping Our Future Wellbeing to provide the context for co-productive work to develop the next Strategic Framework priorities. 

If you would like to book a place, please email ceri@GVS.wales. We are really keen to make this as inclusive an event as possible so please do make every effort to attend whether you are from the Third Sector, the UHB or from a partner organisation who can help contribute to this crucial agenda.
