Your Essex Community Place-based Offer

Over the past year, we’ve engaged with over 250 Voluntary and Community sector organisations across Essex to identify strengths, key needs and gaps in provision. The insights gathered have shaped our approach and continue to guide our work.

We’re continuously working closely with local partners to:

• Understand what success looks like in each place
• Support the delivery of local aspirations
• Share and celebrate what is going well.

Together we are building capacity and capability across the sector to strengthen its impact and reach.

Below you will find a range of opportunities, resources and support available for both county-wide organisations and those working locally. We invite you to explore what’s on offer, book onto development sessions, discover networking opportunities and take part in share and learn events to exchange best practice and tackle challenges together.

For more information on the Your Essex Community offer, please visit the EPortal.

As an online resource, it is a continuous;y evolving platform, aiming to be the one stop shop for organisations of all sizes to find information on a range of topics relevant to the voluntary and community sector. You will also have the ability to support an additional resource request form, if you’re not able to find what you need.
