We are delighted to share that 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of our formation as the Centre for Charity Effectiveness (CCE) at Bayes Business School (formerly Cass).

As we reflect on what we have achieved so far as a Bayes Centre of Excellence, we want to look ahead and consider how we can continue to make a positive impact in the next 20 years.

This event and the conversation we hope to facilitate is key to this aim.

Creating Collaborations: Sharing learning from research, policy, and practice to strengthen VCSE and health and care commissioning

Monday 30 October 2023
Where: Bayes Business School

The National Health Service (NHS) and local governments regularly commission voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to deliver health and care services. Whilst this offers considerable opportunities, it can often be challenging for VCSE organisations and commissioners alike.

This one-day conference aimed to strengthen collaborative relationships between VCSE and health and care commissioners through sharing insights and learning from research, policy and practice. Together, we hope to help shape the future of VCSE and health and care commissioning relationships.

This conference was based on a recent research project evaluating the vital relationship between health and care commissioners and the VCSE sector, and how they can collaborate better. Four research briefings written for practitioners have been published and are freely available on the CCE website. Further outputs from the research will follow in due course.

This event was delivered in conjunction with Bayes Business School, NHS England, National Voices, NAVCA, University of Birmingham, and University of Plymouth.

CCE was delighted to be involved in the Charity Commission’s work to update the CC14 guidance on investments.

Professor Paul Palmer and Honorary Visiting Fellow David Rowe led a research project which explored the charity sector’s understanding of the Charity Commission’s guidance on social investment. This research was done at the invitation of the Charity Commission and was taken into consideration when the Commission updated its guidance with regard to social investment.

More about the research project can be found here.

Our Charity Talks are split into the following three sections:

• Presentation – by a leading figure in the sector of a current key issue facing people in nonprofit organisations
• Response – from a top academic or consultant broadening out the topic to develop the issues and offering guidance for action
• Discussion – an opportunity for the audience to question, debate and share their ideas.
