Communities in Partnership have been awarded the contract to support the Engagement of Leicestershire’s County Council of users of their Adult Social Care Services. The services aim is to support the delivery of the Council’s Engagement Framework, developed in conjunction with users and stakeholders.

CiP are due to take over the provision of support from July 2012.

Communities in Partnership has been awarded the contract to support Leicestershire Partnership Trust to develop their Membership, so it reflects the new integrated Trust and supports it to become a Foundation Trust .

They want us build trust with users, and by making it accessible to all and promote the value of membership. With our existing experience and skills, CiP will be able to hit the ground running and add considerable value to the Trust by reaching out and recruiting new members, freeing up LPT staff to focus on improving outcomes for those we provide care for.

For more details on Trust Memberships, see their website http://www.leicspart.nhs.uk/_Formembersandgovernors.aspx

The Reaching People consortium is now bidding for contracts.

Full information can be found on the Reaching People website Reaching People

Communities in Partnership held its launch on the 12 October 2010. The event was a great success and very well attended. Delegates learned about CiP's future direction and were able to feedback their ideas for support that CiP can provide for their organisations in future.
