Bassetlaw voluntary sector community grants engagement
NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire are carrying out an engagement exercise to find out more about how people use voluntary organisations in Bassetlaw. This is part of a review into how it funds those organisations.
The way voluntary organisations in Bassetlaw are funded is different to other parts of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. This is due to commissioning arrangements that were in place before two separate organisations merged to become NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
People can respond by completing an online survey by 28 May 2025 or if you would like to invite a member of the team to come and talk to your community group or network to obtain feedback please do let us know by emailing us at nnicb-nn.engagement@nhs.net.
