NAVCA, in partnership with National Voices, coordinates the VCSE Health and Wellbeing Alliance (HW Alliance). The Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Health and Wellbeing Alliance (HW Alliance) is a partnership between voluntary sector representatives and the health and care system. It is jointly managed and funded by the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England and the UK Health Security Agency. The HW Alliance’s mission is to enable policy, commissioning and provider organisations to design services and support based on the needs of people and communities who face disadvantage and exclusion.
Together, we work to:
• Improve access to health and care services, and support for those who experience barriers.
• Ensure health and care providers and policymakers are supported andchallenged to embed inclusion in service design and improvement.
• Improve inclusivity and codesign across the voluntary sector.
Full details of the HW Alliance and its members are published on the NHS England website.
