Foreword
This year of public spending reductions has been one of challenges for local communities, the voluntary
and community sector and public services. The effects of this can be seen in VAL’s research, which has

VAL’s role at this time is more important than ever. We have undertaken important research that shows
the depth and breadth of the cuts to different communities which has provided valuable information for
commissioners and decision makers. We have brought groups together to look at collective solutions. We
have supported groups to adopt different business models and to be more enterprising in light of the lack of
public sector contracts. We have seen a record number of volunteers, who are able to maintain and develop

Leicester City Outcomes Report 2011-2012
Highlights of VAL’s year
„ 6,870 people enquired about volunteering this
year, our highest ever number and an increase
of 64% on last year. Over half our enquirers
are from BME communities and over half from
young people under 25.
„ Despite the challenging economic climate,
local groups have been supported to raise
£692k this year. In addition to this, VAL led
a partnership of organisations to win £1m of
Transforming Local Infrastructure funding.
„ A new programme has worked with

„ VAL carried out research into the state of the
sector, The Changing Impact of the Voluntary
and Community Sector, identifying the effect
of cuts on VCS groups on local communities.
From this we were able to identify actions
for the VCS alongside public services to
ameliorate the worst impacts.

„ The City Mayor and his team have been able
to talk directly to the VCS and volunteers
through various events that VAL has
coordinated.

„ Our children and young people and adult
social care forums have increased the number
and diversity of attendees, and delivered a
range of sessions with local public services.
„ There are 52 new signatories to the Leicester
Compact, and there is a new VCS and public
sector strategy group with membership from
both sectors, able to act strategically to feed
into the new Leicester City partnership.

Identifying needs in the local community

To pro-actively identify the needs in the local community and facilitate improvement in service provision
to meet those needs.
Key figures
83%
of groups feel informed or well
informed about VAL’s services
and activities, an increase of
18% since last year.
76%
of groups say they are well
informed or very well informed
about strategies, policies and
partnerships.
69
events and network meetings
have been held, bringing the
sector together to analyse
need and plan to meet it.

cuts to the voluntary and community sector are
funding cuts to communities and the services
they receive. Often these services help vulnerable
people, such as the elderly or disabled, so when
funding is removed the vital support they need is
removed too.

models of brokerage to open up the market place
for the sector. It has also provided an arena
where topics such as budget cuts, new areas of
development such as ‘choose my support’ and
tailoring services to meet the needs of individuals
receiving personal budgets can be discussed.
The volunteering network meets on a quarterly
basis. It successfully brings together both staff and
volunteers who “manage” volunteers from a wide
range of voluntary and community organisations
and from other sectors. Topics for meetings this

of members state that the network helps them feel

has proved an invaluable link with

this support we have been able
