BME voice to play active role in CapacityBuilders workstreams partnerships

Voice4Change England is delighted to be a partner of the consortiums successful in winning the contracts to deliver the Change Up national support infrastructure programmes for Equalities and Diversity, Income Generation and Performance Management.

Vandna Gohil, Voice4Change England Director, said: “We are delighted to be involved in the delivery of these three vital workstreams. The value of BME involvement is often acknowledged but in practice the presence is merely window dressing. Voice4Change England has confidence that the partners and consortia established to deliver the workstreams are genuine about involving the BME Third Sector and we are enthusiastic about our role in taking this forward. The BME Third Sector deserves a better deal and through the partnerships established we will ensure it has a thriving future. We are also keen to influence the work of the other workstreams to ensure they also reach out to the BME Third Sector.”
