Sandwell Council of Voluntary Organisations - SCVO. Supporting the Growth of Community Action in Sandwell.

Sandwell MBC have produced a draft Day Opportunities Strategy for Older People in Sandwell and you have a chance to have your say.  The draft Strategy sets out proposals on the way future services will be planned, developed and managed in order to meet the needs of older people now and for the future.  It is important for you to have your say, whether a direct service provider in this area, or whether you work to support people for whom these issues will have an impact in the future.

A copy of the Strategy can be downloaded here.  A feedback questionnaire can be downloaded from here and should be completed and returned by 30th October 2009.  Details of where the feedback should be sent are included within the document. Furthermore, if you would like SCVO’s support in raising any issues that are not covered in the questionnaire please contact Leona Bird, Network Development Officer at SCVO on 0121 558 7434 or e-mail leona@scvo.info

A Health and Social Care Contractors Group for voluntary and community groups  is regularly facilitated by SCVO and the Strategy will be discussed at the next meeting being held on 3rd September 2009 at 10.00am at Sandwell Community Caring Trust.  If you are interested in attending this meeting, please also contact Leona.
