Welcome to the Bristol ChangeUp Consortium

The Bristol ChangeUp Consortium is a partnership of local infrastructure organisations who have come together to improve the delivery of support services to Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations.

The partnership was set up in 2004 with the aim of providing an accountable, representative and well resourced infrastructure for Bristol’s voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors.

In summary the Consortium's objectives are:

· To influence those local, regional and national policies which impact on our communities

· To work with the sector and other stakeholders to identify and meet the current and future infrastructure needs of frontline VCSE organisations

· To ensure that plans we develop are intelligence led, and that they influence and inform planning at other levels

· To ensure our plans reflect the equalities and diversity needs of the area

· To establish, agree and deliver strategic priorities for infrastructure investment in line with identified needs and ChangeUp objectives

· To represent and promote the interests of the VCSES by negotiating with funders for the sustainability of infrastructure support services

· To recognise and engage with other stakeholders in the development and delivery of strategic plans.
