ChangeUp

The ChangeUp Project has now ceased but many of the resources below are still useful and applicable





What was ChangeUp?

ChangeUp was a government funded programme, aimed at supporting the development of the Voluntary and Community sector (VCS) over a ten period. Operating at a national, regional and local level ChangeUp aimed to ensure:

"that by 2014 the needs of frontline voluntary and community organisations would be be met by support which is available nationwide, structured for maximum efficiency, offering excellent provision which is accessible to all while reflecting and promoting diversity, and is sustainably funded."

The Changeup Infrastructure Framework outlined the basic support structure the Government at the time expected to be offered by infrastructure organisations. It identified six strategic priorities or strands that were considered key to the development of the infrastructure of the sector. These were:

  • Performance Improvement
  • Developing a Highly Effective Workforce
  • ICT
  • Governance
  • Financing the Voluntary Sector
  • Recruiting and Developing Volunteers

ChangeUp in Havering

A great deal of work took place through ChangeUp in Havering including:

Setting up of a Steering Group with second tier agencies and others in the borough providing infrastructure support to Voluntary and Community Organisations (VCOs).

Mapping exercises of infrastructure support needs and current provision. Focus Groups and consultations held with both second tier and frontline VCOs to identify infrastructure needs and the barriers currently experienced in accessing relevant services and support.
