VCSE Alliance Research and Reports

As an Alliance we want to ensure that we maintain good intelligence about the VCSE sector and we want to support VCSE organisations to engage in system research opportunities. See more information below.

 

Working Together in Research Project – this project aims to promote inclusive approaches to health and care research through working with the VCSE sector. 

The aim of the Working Together in Research project is to develop a South Yorkshire research approach to address systemic barriers to representative inclusion in health and care research. The project is led by a steering group bringing together NHS South Yorkshire ICB, NIHR, the Innovation Hub and the VCSE.

The VCSE leads on this project are Diversecity who have co-ordinated activity and facilitated workshops, and South Yorkshire Community Foundation who have project managed and administrated grants to VCSE organisations.

The project has:

  • Invested in 10 diverse VCSE organisations to share their insights on inclusive practice
  • Facilitated a range of workshops to understand the barriers to inclusive practice and to build networks and share knowledge
  • Designed a set of guiding principles to support research organisations in their inclusive practice
  • Developed a maturity matrix to build on the principles and support research organisations to bring the principles to life
