Our Locally Trusted Organisation (LTO) during the ‘Getting Started’ stage and during the delivery of the first plan has been SCIPS, both in terms of holding our funding and also providing support to us. During this time we as a partnership have been satisfied with SCIPS performance and have demonstrated they ‘Get’ the resident led ethos of Big Local and have routinely gone above and beyond the scope of the support agreement to support us.
SCIPS is an independent charitable organisation led by the people of Sandwell, we offer skills and expertise to provide a range of high quality services and a link for all communities on local issues.
SCIPS work in partnership across the third sector to facilitate an effective exchange of views and opinions, enabling communities to influence local services.
