BCC team with Local Award


Kal, Emil, Matthew and Benita joined Northfield Community Partnership in Sheffield City Hall recently and we are 
delighted to announce that the Prevention and Communities Commissioning Team (part of Adult Social Care) have won the ‘Keep it Local’ Award.

Issued by Locality (the national membership network supporting local community organisations), “Keep it local is Localities campaign calling for councils to move away from bureaucratic commissioning and big outsourcing contracts .This award celebrates an outstanding local authority that has instead created strong local partnerships with local community organisations and worked in an innovative way to unlock the power of its community.”
 
The commissioners say:

"We would like to take this opportunity to thank our partner organisations that deliver each Neighbourhood Network Scheme, as well as all the many other amazing community organisations working with us to develop and grow our communities and support the people who live within them: We would also like to extend special thanks to Becky Debenham, CEO of Northfield Community Partnership, who nominated the P&C team for this award.
