The report from the Survey we carried out earlier this year is now available. We'd like to thank all of you who helped by completing the questionnaire. We think the final report really gives a very good snapshot of the voluntary/ community sector in Moray. There are a number of Action points that have come out of the report for Voluntary Sector Partnership Moray. There are also issues that we hope we can help with in the future and you’ll be hearing more from us about our plans in the near future. You can access the report from here
In the meantime – stay in touch – either by keeping an eye on the website. You can also email any of your voluntary sector representatives with ideas or comments – you’ll find contact details for all of us on the vspm website. |

What is Community Planning and why is it important?
Community Planning is a process whereby a local authority and other local agencies including community, voluntary, public and private sector organisations come together to develop and implement a shared vision for promoting the well being of the area. We are all customers of the public sector, whether we are borrowing a book from the local library, visiting a GP or reporting a crime to the Police. In the past, the service providers acted mainly on their own when planning and delivering services to the public. Community Planning has been subdivided into 5 key themes; Greener, Smarter, Healthier, Safer and Stronger, and Wealthier and Fairer. There is also a group focusing on Community Engagement. Multi-agency Theme Groups meet to address issues within each of these themes.
What is the Voluntary Sector Partnership Moray and how does it fit in?
Voluntary Sector Partnership Moray (VSPM) is an independent support network of community, social enterprise, and voluntary sector organisations. Every theme group has a representative from VSPM at the table; the sector’s voice is now at the heart of community planning. Each of our theme group representatives is eager to hear about the issues groups and organisations face and also to communicate back to the sector from the community planning process.

The VSPM’s aim is to benefit organisations by:
· Giving us a collective and stronger voice
· Addressing issues around changes to the way we will be funded in the future
· Telling others how valuable we are as a sector in delivering local services
· Sharing resources thereby increasing sustainability
· Working in better partnership with external agencies
· Working effectively together
· Reducing isolation as individual organisations
· Demonstrating the value of the work of voluntary organisations to the local economy
· Contributing more effectively to Community Planning |

We’re delighted to say that Voluntary Sector Partnership Moray (VSPM) now has voluntary sector representatives on the Community Planning Partnership Community Engagement group and all of the theme groups.
Your representatives are:
Donna Breen Wealthier and Fairer group
Helen Milnes Safer and Stronger group
Paul Johnson Smarter group
Ian Longley Greener group
Anita Milne Healthier group
You can find out more about each of the voluntary sector representatives by visiting the theme group page here on the website.
Over the next few months, we will be seeking to develop our communication methods so that we are able to inform the third sector in Moray about the issues that are being raised and worked on in the different theme groups of the Community Planning Partnership.
We will also be looking to establish ways of gathering your views because your voluntary sector representatives want to hear from the sector they are being tasked with representing. You can email any of the voluntary sector representatives by clicking on the ‘contact us’ section on the left hand panel.

Why does Moray need the VSPM? |
|

The introduction in November 2007 of the Concordat between Scottish Government and local authorities has brought a new impetus to joint working between local voluntary infrastructure organisations. The Concordat and the associated development of Single Outcome Agreements (SOAs), places responsibility for decisions on local delivery clearly at the local level.
The effective contribution of the voluntary sector to the delivery and design of local services will require a local infrastructure to support connection and communication with Community Planning and Council infrastructure. By March 2011 it is expected that there will be a coherent, fit for purpose, local infrastructure that meets the needs of Local Authorities, Community Planning Partnerships (CPP) and the Voluntary Sector, which has been developed in partnership.).
Following consultation with the voluntary sector and other stakeholders between Summer 2008 & June 2009, the Boards of Moray Voluntary Service Organisation (MVSO) and The Volunteer Centre Moray (VCM), agreed on a VSPM model which gained Moray CPP approval in May 2009.
