In January I wrote a blog that exalted the complexity and variety of our sector, in which I challenged the powers that be, not to tinker with things they don’t fully understand. Last month I talked Rainforests and Zoos as metaphors for our sector and how we can be (mis)treated by commissioners of public services in particular. This month I must continue the theme, but will keep it short in the hope that you might take the action I propose at the close.
As many members will know we have been in dialogue with local MPs about improving the relationship between our elected representatives and the local VCSE sector. Following local discussion through Team Staffordshire, we have recently submitted the attached letter calling on our MPs to help us to establish a long term dialogue with them to address the many and varied issues of the sector and communities more widely.
Healthwatch Staffordshire have some information and requests that we hope you will find to be of interest, and that you might be able to share with family, friends and colleagues.
