THIRD SECTOR CAPABILITY / GALLU'R TRYDYDD SECTOR
As part of the work carried out via the Mid & West Wales Health & Social Care Collaborative, PAVO has been asked to conduct a mapping exercise of the third sector's capability in Powys, particularly in relation to the changing eligibility criteria for Social Care. Expectations are being placed upon the sector to support people who will no longer be eligible for social care. In particular, the strategy refers to third sector befriending services, information services and advocacy services.
Many thanks to those who have already completed this survey. If you haven't yet done so, your response would be hugely useful and much appreciated. Already, we are able to evidence a number of key messages e.g. the need for longer term funding arrangements and capacity issues relating to an expectation to take on more clients etc.
By completing this brief questionnaire, you will be able to highlight any additional resources or help your organisation and/or service will need in order to provide the sustainable, safe and reliable support that is needed.
The questionnaire will take no more than 10 minutes to complete.
