Have Your Say: Shaping the Future of Adult Social Care in East Riding

Residents, community groups, and organisations across the East Riding are being invited to take part in a series of in-person events that will help shape the future of adult social care services in the area.

Why This Matters for the VCSE Sector

The VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) sector plays a vital role in supporting people across East Riding—often working closely with those who rely on adult social care services.

These upcoming engagement events, led by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, are a valuable opportunity for VCSE organisations to:

• Share frontline insights and experiences
• Advocate for the needs of local communities
• Influence how services are designed and delivered
• Strengthen partnerships with statutory services

Your voice can help ensure that future services are inclusive, responsive, and truly reflect the needs of the people you support.

About the Events

The council is hosting a number of in-person sessions where residents and stakeholders can come together to discuss priorities for adult social care.

These sessions will focus on:

• What is working well in current services
• What could be improved
• Ideas for future support and innovation
• How communities and organisations can work together

This is part of a wider effort to ensure that adult social care in East Riding is sustainable, person-centred, and shaped by those who use and deliver services.

Why Your Participation Is Important

For many VCSE organisations, you are the trusted link between individuals and services. You understand the real challenges people face—whether that’s access to care, mental health support, social isolation, or navigating complex systems.

By attending, you can:

• Represent seldom-heard voices
• Highlight gaps in provision
• Share successful community-led approaches
• Help shape a more joined-up system

Get Involved

Residents, carers, professionals, and VCSE organisations are all encouraged to attend.

Whether you deliver services, support volunteers, or advocate for local people, your perspective is crucial in building a stronger, more responsive adult social care system.
