and adults financial wellbeing. Financial wellbeing means feeling secure and in control of your finances, both now and in the future. It's knowing that you can pay the bills today, can deal with the unexpected, and are on track for a healthy financial future.

Children, young people and adults have access to justice

Access to justice refers to the ability of individuals and groups to understand, assert, and protect their legal rights and interests, while navigating and utilising the legal system efficiently and fairly. It encompasses affordability, availability of legal advice and representation, and the presence of an unbiased judicial system. In essence, it ensures that everyone has an equal opportunity to seek legal remedies for their grievances and disputes, regardless of their socio-economic background or circumstances.

Step 3

Lived experience, Impact and Partnership Work

If you are completing this application on behalf of a partnership please ensure that your answers cover all the organisations, not just your own.

Lived experience is the knowledge and understanding you get when you have personally lived through something.

We believe that people with lived experience of an issue have valuable insight into the solutions to that issue.

Trustees, staff and volunteers with lived experience of their VCFSE organisation’s objectives can add insights and play an important role in shaping the work of the organisation.

Environmental sustainability is the responsible use of natural resources to ensure they will be around in the future. Examples include using renewable energy, recycling and reusing, cycling or walking instead of driving, composting, conserving water, planting trees.

We think that partnerships between organisations with common aims and objectives are beneficial because they can open the door to other funding, foster good relationships between organisations, and deliver better outcomes for residents.

We have implemented a new Neighbourhood Model to transform the way we deliver frontline services.

The new model divides the city into 13 Neighbourhoods. Each neighbourhood is led by a senior manager, who will identify the key issues facing their neighbourhood, and work with partners and departments across the Council to address them.

We believe that neighbourhood delivery will improve outcomes for residents, by bringing local stakeholders, including the voluntary sector, together to form teams around the neighbourhood.

Councillors conduct vital work as community leaders in their ward. They are often the only voice available to residents. It is vital that VCFSE organisations work with local councillors to deliver better outcomes for residents.
