Peterborough Voluntary and Community Sector Annual report published (12 December 2007)

The VCS Group

The Voluntary Sector Reference Group has been established within the framework of the Greater Peterborough Partnership, Peterborough’s local strategic partnership, to provide a forum through which voluntary and community sector groups can influence and contribute to the Community Strategy and the local area agreement. 

It not only offers those groups a voice in determining the future development of Peterborough, but also a role in contributing to that success.

Its main aims are as follows:

To provide a forum for discussion and input to the continued development and refinement of the Community Strategy and the local area agreement, including the annual refresh of both documents.

To provide input to the performance management framework for both documents in terms of the contribution of voluntary and community sector groups (recognising that the reference group is not representative of the totality of this work) to the priorities and targets of the Community Strategy and local area agreement.

To monitor reporting against the priorities and targets of the Community Strategy and local area agreement to ensure that the quarterly reporting cycle reflects as far as possible the reality of what is being achieved on the ground.
