Pennine CVS Collaboration Announcement

The 3 CVS’s within Pennine Lancashire (namely Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale CVS, Community CVS and Hyndburn and Ribble Valley CVS) have formally made a commitment to work together for the benefit of our members and the communities we serve.   We will speak with one voice and look to develop strong partnerships with the new proposed Unitary Authority, with Lancashire County Combined Authority and with NHS structures at the system, place and neighbourhood levels. We will work together to jointly support the VCFSE sector and the existing councils to manage the transition as seamlessly as possible for the benefit of the communities we serve. Our approach will build on and enhance the close collaborations that we have had over the past 20 years.
