The report has been written below under these lour heading5 to frame the development of the organisation over
the year.
Finally, th8 organisation needed lo increase its visibllily lo improve the trust of both the VCSE sector arKI the
statutory seclor in Bamsley. This will be a continued journey over the following 3 year8 but steps were made in
this financial year to attend more strategic meetings and play an active part in discussions and actions- start the
re-branding process identify new methods to connect to our members of different sizes and struciures.
Collaboratlon and Partnershlp
NAVCA state that for collabofation and partnerships lo be effective, the following OLrtcomes need to be achieved..
1. Effedive communication, collaboration and partnarships among VCSE organisations, beh¥een sectors,
with communities and people.
2. VCSE'S influence and deliver seNiees more effectivety by worklng Collaboratively through nelworks,
formal partnefship8 and consortia.
Our newsletter was our most effective tfy)I for communicating regular updates lo the sector wlth subscription of
700 people. However. as our website was out of date, old fashioned and difficult to use. the newsletter was very
long and deta￿ed V4ilh Iitue infornialion bw'ng transferred lo the website for sustainable access to updates. The
t&am had little ability lo make daily website updates and were reliant on an extem81 web company m*ing
effective and efficient Communication challenging. Thfrr8 was also nothing on the websile solely forthe t*nofft of
our m8mbers and no de￿gnated areas for groups to communicate with each other or share sector specific news.
As such 8arnsley CVS embarked on the redesign of the website and brand. By the end of this finanual year,
phase one of the development was complete. CVS had a new, bright and modem look that represented the lile
that we aim to bring lo the secior arKI the celebration of everything the VCSE sector does. Phase one wa5 the
completion of a basic websf(e bul allowed the team easy control of the Web￿te and as suth, faster updates and
storage of information. The new websrte indudes events and training areas. information about devekiping
partnerships, current funding opportunrties 8nd news items. The second phase will develop an inter￿1Ve
