“Working in partnership to influence and transform health and social care”
The Voluntary and Community Sector Alliance (VCSA) works across Bradford District and Craven, and has been developed by the local Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) to become an equal partner in the Integrated Care System, alongside other key local health, social care, and support providers.
To deliver this; providers in health, social care, and support services have come together to form the Bradford Provider Alliance (BPA) and the Airedale Providers Alliance Group (APAG). The VCSA manages VCS Representation on different Partnership Groups associated with Health and Social Care, and co-ordinates the local Voluntary and Community Sector to deliver different Health and Social Care projects across the Bradford District and Craven.
