Small charities play a vital role in local service delivery but often face significant challenges in commissioning and procurement.
We know that small charities want to make sure that the valuable work they do is recognised and rewarded fairly by commissioning bodies and treated as equal partners, and they want commissioning processes to be equitable, proportionate, and flexible. This ambition links with policy reform currently being undertaken by Welsh Government. With the guidance shortly due to be refined in consultation with the public and third sectors, now is an ideal time to strengthen the dialogue between charities interested in shaping the future of commissioning.
C3SC and Recovery Cymru are inviting local small charities and third sector groups to discuss commissioning of services in Cardiff, share experiences, and identify good practices, challenges, and opportunities.
This event is also an opportunity to hear first-hand from charities about their experiences and what they have learned about commissioning and hear more about funding and commissioning models, such as Alliance commissioning.
The event is part of the Finding the Good programme, a whole Wales partnership with Lloyds Bank Foundation and Cwmpas that aims to help shape what fair commissioning could look like in practice in Cardiff for small charities and to share good examples.
