VCS
Peterborough’s voluntary sector has a major contribution to make to the achievement of our vision of a bigger and better Peterborough. Whether that is through the work of local charities who are deliberately commissioned by partners such as NHS Peterborough to supply services (such as drugs advice and prevention services) or through the efforts of the countless volunteers working as school governors, conservation volunteers or simply lending a helping hand in their communities, the sector is at the heart of our agenda for Peterborough.
The partners in the Greater Peterborough Partnership explicitly recognise and value this contribution. The GPP also actively supports the work of the Peterborough Compact – a code of conduct for relations between the statutory partners and the voluntary sector and seeks to encourage all partners not only to sign up to the Compact but to ensure its values are respected across their organisation.
