NCB's voluntary sector support (VSS) programme helps build the capacity of voluntary and community sector organisations involved in the delivery of children and young people's services. The VSS programme recently completed a survey of third sector organisations working on children's health and wellbeing to inform its work as a strategic partner of the Department of Health. It sought to understand the health and wellbeing focus of child-centred organisations and the policy frameworks within which they operate. Ninety-nine organisations responded, from charities to social enterprises.
Survey results
The survey found that respondents carry out a wide range of activities relating to children and young people's health and wellbeing.
