19 Jan 2015 - Harrow Council VCS budget consultation 2015-16
Date: 19 Jan 2015 - 00:00
Location: Harrow Council - to be confirmed
Please see attached statement from Councillor Sachin Shah and Councillor Sue Anderson.
Please note that the consultation meeting booked for 7th January 2015 has been rescheduled and will now take place on Monday 19th January. Please contact community.development@harrow.gov.uk to confirm your attendance.
In the Take Part consultation on the overall Council budget proposals, Harrow Council proposed some wide ranging cuts to voluntary sector funding to help meet the £25million funding gap for 2015-16. However, following feedback from the Take Part consultation, these proposals have been amended.
Feedback from the Take Part consultation is available to view here: www.harrow.gov.uk/takepart
The amended saving proposal is a reduction of £550,000 of funding to the voluntary and community sector in 2015-2016. Our more detailed consultation on the budget proposals commenced with a meeting with voluntary organisations on 25th November 2014. At this meeting we explained that these funding reductions would be looked at holistically across Council departments.
In recent weeks, voluntary sector representatives have asked for further clarification and requested more specific information about the proposals. The Council understands the need for specific information so that organisations and service users can understand the potential impact on services. In light of this we can now clarify that it is proposed that the £550,000 saving will be sought from two specific Council budget areas;
- A reduction of £270,000 to the Council’s discretionary grant funding budget of £600,000. This includes both the three-year Outcomes Based Grants (OBG) and annual Small Grant programmes.
- A reduction of £280,000 from the Adults budget of £1,079m that supports the delivery of services to older people and people with disabilities.
Voluntary organisations and service users will now be consulted on these specific proposals as well as on the wider picture for the sector. A consultation survey will be available from 5th January 2015. To ensure that we give sufficient time to receive feedback from you and your service users the consultation deadline will be extended to Friday 13th February 2015.
A number of voluntary organisations, who would have been due to receive funding in 2015-16, have put forward a proposal for an extension to their agreements at current funding levels to June 2015. This would be to assist them in planning for the implementation of any proposals that emerge from the consultation and the Council’s funding decisions. The Council understands the need for voluntary and community sector organisations to be able to plan their services accordingly and is considering how best to accommodate this request within our budgets. We will confirm a decision on this early in the New Year. We will ensure that no organisation has less than three months in which to implement any decisions on funding.

02 Apr 2014 - Healthy Harrow Day - Free Event
Date: 02 Apr 2014 - 14:00 to 20:00
Location: Members Lounge & Council Chamber Harrow Civic Centre Station Road HA1 2AY United Kingdom
Healthy Harrow Day - Free Event
It is a time of great change in Health and Social Services in the borough. Public input in the nature and implementation of these changes is essential.
Healthwatch Harrow in conjunction with the London Borough of Harrow/Public Health Team and NHS Harrow Clinical Commissioning Group are having the 1st ever Healthy Harrow Day.
We would very much like to warmly welcome everyone to attend this informative and enjoyable day.
The aim of the Harrow Healthy Day is to promote local Health and Social Care services that are available across the borough to those who require them. The day also hopes to help Health and Social care providers design local services that meet current and future demands and needs. We envisage that the Healthy Harrow day encourages, informs and inspires Harrow residents to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
The Healthy Harrow day will support you to make healthy choices giving encouragement to make the small changes, and eventually make all the difference to your future health. It is great that we are all living longer than ever- let’s be alive and well!
The day also aims to make people aware of the decisions that are being made on everyone’s behalf to re-design the services we may need to stay healthy. These services are precious to all of us whether we use them regularly or not. There will be representation from many of those providing services in Harrow. Harrow is no longer a sleepy place at the end of the metropolitan line, but a vibrant multicultural borough leading for others to follow.
As mentioned the event will include exhibits from many service providers and charities and you will be encouraged to engage, interact and discuss matters affecting you and services which matter to you.
The public receives so many health messages almost daily that often people are left with more questions than answers; Healthy Harrow day may answer some of these questions. For example what is dementia? How do I manage my diabetes? What is enough exercise? Do I really need to go to the hospital? Knowledge (to quote a cliché) is power and so armed with the knowledge people need; they can hopefully make the right choices
The day will conclude with homage to Thursday night’s BBC ‘Question Time’ …all be it on a Wednesday. Questions will be posed to a panel that consists of the Chair of the local CCG Board and many other high profile leaders of our local Hospital and Social care services. To ensure order and impartiality our Healthwatch Chair will take on the coveted David Dimbleby role and mediate the panel. So please think of some pertinent questions ahead of time and submit them to Healthwatch. We really do want you to have your say!
When we buy a house we do our homework. We view the house, we do a local search; for good schools, easy access to our jobs, we get a survey done. We check and recheck our finances and liaise with estate agents and banks. We maintain our home and improve it and we petition profusely if anything, for example a motorway is to be built nearby or a neighbour is going to build an extension obscuring our view or something similar. We insure our homes, heat and love them. We take very good care of them. Our home is important to us and our family.
Your body is your first home and you should treat it the same; maintain it, protect it, invest in it…have a say in anything that has an influence on its future health. Not just for you, but for everyone that cares for you too.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the Healthy Harrow Day!

Healthwatch Harrow is all about collecting and using local voices to influence the delivery and design of local services; not just for people who use them now, but also anyone who might need to use them in the future. To have the biggest impact, we need to work closely with a range of groups to gather the views of local people and identify issues, and also to get those views heard.
