Performance Improvement Hub

The Performance Improvement Hub is a partnership of six voluntary and community sector organisations that have joined together to help increase the ability and motivation of other Voluntary and Community Organisations (VCO) to use performance improvement techniques to achieve their mission, aims and objectives.

The partner organisations are:

• Charities Evaluation Services (CES)
• National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO)
• National Association of Councils for Voluntary Services (NACVS)
• British Association of Settlements and Social Action Centres (BASSAC)
• Black Training and Enterprise Group (BTEG)
• New Economics Foundation (NEF)

The Hub is part of the Government's ten-year ChangeUp strategy. The Active Communities Directorate at the Home Office has agreed to fund the Hubs' activities until March 2007 with the possibility of further support after that.

The main functions of the Hub are:

• To provide opportunities for VCOs to learn and share their knowledge of effective performance improvement approaches.
• To develop training and support for a network of local performance improvement advisers who will then offer their support to VCOs.
• To produce clear and simple guidance about what works in performance improvement and help develop new tools and techniques where needed.
• To help shape and influence the policies and practices of funders, regulators and decision-makers to create an environment that it is conducive to performance improvement.
