What are the conditions that allow local VCSE infrastructure organisations [LIOs] to thrive and deliver for stakeholders?

NAVCA commissioned a research project to answer the question:

Therapeutic Support Manager

The Joshua Tree is a dedicated charity committed to providing tailored support to families affected by childhood cancers. We strive to ensure that families receive compassionate care and the resources they need to navigate the most challenging of times.

We are seeking an experienced and qualified Therapeutic Support Manager to oversee our counselling and therapeutic work. This will include completion of detailed assessments and developing support plan tailored to each family and crucially overseeing our cohort of bank counselling staff.

General Manager

Cheshire Dance is looking for a General Manager to work closely with the Director and the team to bring our artistic vision to life while ensuring the organisation’s long-term stability and financial resilience.

I am writing this article having returned from a visit to FareShare Merseyside with Councillor Anna Burton – Food Poverty/Food Security champion for Cheshire East Council.
