We also provide support, funding and information for our members.

Representation

MHNC is a powerful voice within Northamptonshire’s Integrated Care System.

As the Provider Partner of the Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism Collaborative, we hold a very significant and influential position in decision making within the county.

Representation through our team means we hold positions in the MHLDA Collaborative Executive Board and MHLDA Leadership meetings.

We also have involvement in all of the MHLDA Collaborative Pillars where we are able to provide a voice for our members.

As a respected body who has oversight of VCFSE-sector mental health delivery in Northamptonshire, we are able to influence outcomes and promote progress and innovation.

Funding

As the leading organisation overseeing voluntary sector mental health delivery in Northamptonshire, MHNC is in a unique position to secure funding for our members.

We bring our members together to identify gaps in services, co-create services to meet those needs, and collaborate on grants and contracts.

We also offer funding advice and support with applications to individual members to support their sustainability.

Information

Interaction within MHNC is key to the sharing of news, information and support.

Our regular member meetings offer a chance for everyone to come together and discuss particular topics or issues our organisations feel important.

Information relevant to the VCFSE mental health sector is also shared with members.

Our CEO Network promotes peer support and information sharing across those who lead our member organisations.

MHNC also hosts an annual conference which highlights the work of its members in delivering excellent mental health care in Northamptonshire while also offering the chance to address issues facing both mental health care and the voluntary sector.

Advice

MHNC offers advice and assistance to its members on a range of matters.

We can provide assistance, should it be required, on governance, ensuring that members adhere to best practices and meet regulatory requirements.

We can also help implement quality improvements, guiding members through continuous enhancement of their processes and services.

Additionally, we engage actively in local and national policy advocacy, ensuring our members are well-informed and influential in shaping policies that impact their sector.

By providing this support we hope to equip our members with the chance to thrive and drive positive change in their communities.
