Herefordshire Public Services is working closely with other local organisations who support their third sector colleagues by providing services to enable them to better fulfil their objectives. Together, we wish to ensure these support services are of high quality and meet the needs of the sector. By finding out how well HPS and the third sector infrastructure organisations support front-line organisations we can plan for the future, making changes where necessary, and ensure third sector organisations are well placed to respond to the needs of their communities into the future.
This consultation has now closed and is awaiting the formal response.
