Meeting with Surrey Care Trust

I had a very informative meeting with the Chief Executive of Surrey Care Trust, Elaine Tisdall in Oxted - very impressive work they do around improving the life chances of people of all ages in Surrey

By promoting alternative education, the Surrey Care Trust aims to help people overcome both economic and social disadvantage which benefits the individuals receiving the help and the wider community by equipping them with the skills to work and develop themselves.

My discussions with Elaine focused around three key issues affecting the charity. Firstly, that more resources are provided for the vitally important first steps programme. Secondly, around issues of localism and ensuring that small charities don't lose out to larger charities in the government's drive to devolve power. Thirdly, we spoke about the payment by results initiative and the effect that has in helping larger charities who have more working capital to begin with.
