CCE was delighted to be involved in the Charity Commission’s work to update the CC14 guidance on investments.

Professor Paul Palmer and Honorary Visiting Fellow David Rowe led a research project which explored the charity sector’s understanding of the Charity Commission’s guidance on social investment.

Creating Collaborations: Sharing learning from research, policy, and practice to strengthen VCSE and health and care commissioning

Monday 30 October 2023
Where: Bayes Business School

The National Health Service (NHS) and local governments regularly commission voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to deliver health and care services. Whilst this offers considerable opportunities, it can often be challenging for VCSE organisations and commissioners alike.

This one-day conference aimed to strengthen collaborative relationships between VCSE and health and care commissioners through sharing insights and learning from research, policy and practice. Together, we hope to help shape the future of VCSE and health and care commissioning relationships.

This conference was based on a recent research project evaluating the vital relationship between health and care commissioners and the VCSE sector, and how they can collaborate better. Four research briefings written for practitioners have been published and are freely available on the CCE website. Further outputs from the research will follow in due course.

This event was delivered in conjunction with Bayes Business School, NHS England, National Voices, NAVCA, University of Birmingham, and University of Plymouth.

Reflections Forward: Perspectives on leadership in a changing context

With Paul Streets (CEO, Lloyds Bank Foundation) and Sarah Vibert (CEO, NCVO)

Wednesday 1 May 2024 15:30-17:00
Location: Bayes Business School

The UK has seen profound changes in recent decades. What do these changes mean for nonprofit leadership? What's next for the relationship between the sector and the State? Does the sector need a different approach to leadership? What would that new approach look like?

We welcomed outgoing CEO of the Lloyds Bank Foundation and Bayes Honorary Visiting Professor, Paul Streets, to join us and lead this conversation. He drew from his work in and with the voluntary sector to propose the sector needs a different relationship with the State and Public Sector, and a different approach towards leadership if it is to maximise its impact and influence in coming decades.

Sarah Vibert, CEO of NCVO, interviewed Paul and then facilitate an interactive discussion with the audience.
