Developing Our Third Sector Strategic Framework

This initiative focuses on collaborating with the third sector to enhance health partnerships in the ABMU Health Board areas of Bridgend, Neath Port Talbot, and Swansea. The framework aims to strengthen long-term relationships and opportunities, without causing disruption during transition. Achievements so far include aligning SLAs with board priorities, addressing funding disparities, and establishing grants schemes. Future goals involve aligning with legislation, influencing public service boards, and reducing health inequalities. Key milestones include drafting the framework and gaining approval from the Health Board. This project emphasizes promoting health and community well-being, enhancing engagement, redesigning services, and supporting third sector growth.

  2. Background • Health Board considers options around third sector procurement – Jan 2016 • Options of developing procurement framework for those with current SLAs or on an open basis • Importance of long-term relationships and opportunities being developed • Whilst not causing unnecessary difficulties for organisations in the transition • Health Board agrees we should develop a Strategic Framework for how we will work with the third sector to frame our relationships now and in the future

  3. What we’ve achieved so far • Reviewed all current Service Level Agreements and aligned with Health Board priorities • Identified where there are funding inequalities in services across the ABMU area • Ringfenced monies for voluntary sector funding • Protected voluntary sector SLAs from cost improvements (although no uplift either) • Agreed & put in place clear discussion / engagement mechanism with third sector

  4. What we’ve achieved so far • Established a large grants scheme with up to 3 year funding (as agreed with sector) • Established small grants scheme to help provide seed money / capital assistance for voluntary organisations • Agreed to review volunteering arrangements within Health Board to maximise opportunities for development & joint working with third sector • Established voluntary sector as automatic partner in commissioning / planning discussions, underpinned with an appropriate appointments process

Opportunities • Social Services & Wellbeing Act • Wellbeing and Future Generations Act • Influencing Western Bay Programme and Public Service Boards • Community development • Reducing health inequalities • Population & Wellbeing Needs Assessments • Gathering information on needs / gaps • Revising engagement processes / approach • Not just about funding, about relationships, now and building for the future
