Join VONNE for this online consultation session, held in partnership with the Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) as one in a series of cross-sector roundtables. The session will focus on gathering feedback from the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, and will contribute to shaping a new business support model aimed at addressing challenges such as low business density, reliance on large employers, fragmented support, and limited impact across the Tees Valley.

 

Over many years, TVCA has delivered a wide range of successful support programmes for businesses across Tees Valley. As the funding landscape continues to evolve, there is now an opportunity to think longer term and develop a more joined-up, sustainable and ambitious approach to business support for the future.

Over recent months, TVCA has been listening to businesses, reviewing feedback and exploring best practice to shape the offer. The ambition is to raise the bar and create a model that provides greater consistency, accessibility and impact over the next four years.

As TVCA move towards the next stage of development, it is seeking feedback on its proposed approach. As part of this, it is keen to hear from representatives of the VCSE sector. The VCSE sector plays a vital role within the Tees Valley economy and local communities, and this discussion will provide an opportunity to help shape a support offer that is inclusive, accessible and reflective of the diversity of organisations operating across the region.

The session will include a presentation from TVCA outlining the proposed approach, followed by a facilitated discussion to gather feedback from VCSE organisations.
