It was great to have the chance to hear from of our voluntary, community & faith organisations across Bootle constituency. I never cease to be impressed with the commitment to and the work they do for our community. If we don't support & fund them, we may lose them. 👍
Congratulations to all the winners this evening on the return of the Citizens 4 Good Awards at Bootle Town, all the stories were really moving well done to everyone

There are over 8,000 VCF organisations in the Liverpool City Region and are a vital part of the social fabric of all our lives. Urge this to be supported in the City Region

@vs6news
I think that this is part of the solution and I would urge our colleagues in
@DCMS
and
@HMT
to give this serious consideration.
Like all businesses and employers (charities employ 900,000 paid workers), we need government support that is swift, simple and substantial.
So pleased that we were able to recognise

Absolutely right Tom. There is insufficient resource in the system either for the hosting or resourcing the inevitable demand. In Sefton we have successfully argued for a Social Prescribing Grant Fund to accompany the scheme, which will be targeted at frontline through our CCG’s
