Impact
Working together, we have made significant strides in developing the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) partnership.
Empowering Change Through Collective Effort
Collaborative efforts between VCSE organisations, Integrated Care Systems (ICS), and NHS partners have significantly impacted several boroughs in North West London (NWL).
Joint initiatives have combined community-based support with clinical expertise, creating comprehensive networks that are more responsive to residents.
Moreover, these collaborations have already brought significant changes to local health systems and patient care pathways.
Empowering local communities has given them a stronger voice in shaping health services, leading to higher patient satisfaction and better health outcomes.
64 Cancer Grants
In partnership with RM Partners, 3ST has facilitated distribution of up to £500 grants to 64 community and voluntary groups.
22% Back to Health
3ST’s local alliance, VCSE, and health partners achieved a 22% reduction in DNA rates in Hillingdon and Brent hospitals.
47% Higher Detection
Through 3ST’s local H4All alliance and health partner collaboration, 79% of cancers were detected at stage 1 or 2.
