New VCS LAA Bulletin

The VCS in Derbyshire now have a regular bulletin which can keep you up to date with the latest LAA news which might affect you or your organisation.

The first issue can be downloaded here LAA Bulletin No.1 (Sep 2008)

The following bulletins will give you the latest information from each of the thematic partnerships together with articles about specific issues which might affect you. It will also have details of any events or training which might help you to understand more about the LAA or have your voice heard at the Derbyshire Partnership Forum or at your local LSP.

Independent Evaluator wanted!

It is vital that the Voice Project is able to measure its impact on an ongoing basis in order to adapt delivery methods to the needs of it's beneficiaries. It is equally important that the project is able to provide robust evidence of it’s value to all it’s stakeholders in order to secure ongoing resources should they be needed. The project is therefore seeking to appoint an external evaluator to assess the project’s processes, management, impact and progress towards milestones. In addition the projects seeks to establish key learning points to inform it’s development and that of other similar projects within the region.

If you are interested, have the skills and capacity and feel you could offer the necessary impartiality, download a copy of the tender specification for more information. The closing date for proposals is 15th December 2008.

Bolsover LSP VCS Rep Induction day a great success!

On the 4^th November, 2008 the Voice Project worked in partnership with Bolsover CVP and Bolsover LSP to hold an induction event for the district’s VCS representatives on the LSP. The Leader of the Council (Eion Watts) and the Chief Executive (Wes Lumley) both attended the event to welcome the reps to the Council and it’s offices. Mandy Chambers, who chairs the LSP Board, gave a presentation stressing the importance of the voluntary sector contribution and everyone had time for a good question and answer session. The reps also had presentations and took part in workshops to clarify the role of the LSP, its link to the Derbyshire Partnership Forum and the LAA and to understand their role within it. Everyone agreed that the day was very worthwhile and we hope to continue to offer it as an annual event, at least.
