Leeds ACTS!/Leeds Social Sciences Institute Research ‘The Community Care Hub Network through Covid-19'
This research looks at the impact being a Community Care Hub had on organisational culture and relationships with partners and communities. This research was commissioned by Leeds ACTS! and delivered by Hope Bachmann, a Post Graduate Researcher funded by Leeds Social Sciences Institute at University of Leeds. The research was undertaken through semi-structured interviews with a sample of Community Care Hubs, and with a Senior Officer from VAL and from Leeds City Council.
The report shows that being a Hub brought organisations closer to communities, that in some cases organisations formed new and lasting relationships with partners, and that the systems put in place to support Hubs were largely effective. However, many Hubs felt that, at times, there was a lack of clarity around the policy framework in which they were working and the expectations that were placed on them.
