Our new report with Collaborate CiC outlines short-term shifts and long-term actions needed to improve the commissioning of third-sector organisations that provide community support for disabled people. This report is based on the insights and experiences of our members, commissioners, sector stakeholders, and people with lived experience. With a united commitment to gloriously ordinary lives, we look at the system levers and relationships at the heart of public sector commissioning, the changes needed to put third-sector support on a surer footing and improve the environment within which third-sector services operate.
