We are an independent consumer champion for health and social care. We gather the views and experiences of local people and share them with commissioners and providers in order to highlight what is being done well and identify areas where things could be improved.
Our Community Pot is designed to support this work. Voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations and groups operating in B&NES can apply to receive a one-off grant ranging from £500 to £5,000 to fund a piece of work or project that will be completed by Monday 31 October 2021.
