C&M VCFSE Alliance

We support the Cheshire & Merseyside (C&M) VCFSE Alliance, which is made up of three forums – C&M VCFSE Health and Care Leaders Group and the infrastructure partnership for Cheshire and Warrington, called CWIP and VS6 in Liverpool City Region.

The C&M VCFSE Alliance works with a range of statutory partners like the NHS and local authorities to improve health and wellbeing and reduce inequalities for all our communities. It works towards ensuring the sector can play its fullest role as an equal partner in our health and care system, reflecting a collective voice and influencing and inputting into decision making whenever possible.
