Principles met

  • We will develop systems that enable citizens to be equal partners in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.
  • We will embrace innovation in how we work with local communities to drive positive change.
  • In exploring new ways of meeting the priority needs of our communities we will encourage models, such as co-operatives and mutuals, which give greater influence and voice to staff and users. in designing and commissioning public services and in determining the use of public resources.

Our communities told us they wanted to work together more collaboratively to ensure they had a representative voice and active role in planning, designing, delivering, and improving services – shortly thereafter the Collective was born!

 

Inspired by the Ladder of Coproduction (TLAP), the Council, CCG and VCFSE partners adopted a coproduction approach to explore how we could garner the expertise, knowledge, and enthusiasm of the sector to shift the balance of power and empower Trafford communities to ‘take charge’ ensuring residents play both a more strategic role in planning and design of health and care services and a more active role in the continuous improvement journey.

Trafford Community Collective is a member-led organisation that supports the development of the VCFSE sector in Trafford by promoting a partnership approach to service design, development, and delivery. The Collective is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation that represents the Local Voluntary Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise (VCSFE) sector in Trafford.
