The Trust is now seeking a proactive, partnership-driven VCSE Strategic Lead to help deliver this Strategy and strengthen how King’s works with the VCSE sector and local communities.

Why partnership with the VCSE sector is essential for neighbourhood health
NAVCA and ALLiance42, with the support of The Partner Ship, we have been working to bring together VCSE evidence, solutions and learning to answer practical questions about how to deliver neighbourhood health with communities. This is shared in the VCSE Handbook on Neighbourhood Health.
Unlocking neighbourhood data
Access to meaningful data is essential if VCSE organisations are to shape services, influence decisions and address health inequalities.
