Information on funding and other initiatives to support capacity building of user-led organisations.
Government policy encourages local authorities to involve local people in the development and delivery of policies and services (co-production). User-led organisations can play a key role in this, helping local authorities to deliver greater personalisation and improving engagement with hard-to-reach population groups. In March 2009, the Minister for Social Care, Phil Hope, launched Putting people first: working together with user-led organisations. This provides advice on how local authorities can help develop, and benefit from, user-led organisations and outlines support provided by the Department of Health, together with other information.
