VCSE Mental Health Alliance

We're proud to continue to lead the Northumberland VCSE Mental Health Alliance, a strong, community-based partnership of 21 voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations.

In 22/23, we acted as a pivotal conduit between the Mental Health Transformation Board and VCSE partners. The strong governance framework we introduced for the Alliance in 2021 has allowed us to allocate funds in 22/23, including contracts and grants across the county.

Over the past 12 months, we have also funded eight mental health-based projects delivered by community organisations. This has allowed us to draw on the rich assets and strengths of local community providers to enhance clinical care, and give wraparound support for people with mental health conditions.
