Following the appointment of Jonathan Williams as Director of Quality Assurance at East Coast Community Healthcare (ECCH), the substantive appointments to the Board are now complete and Chris Banks, who is one of ECCH's founding directors is standing down.  Chris said, "Both Tracy and I thoroughly enjoyed supporting the team in Great Yarmouth and Waveney to establish their community services as a flourishing social enterprise.  ECCH is a fantastic organisation with an amazing team of people in it, providing great services day in and out. I wish it every success for the future."
 
 
We are delighted to announce that Banks Cannell LLP has just been approved as an accredited provider to the Investment and Contract Readiness Fund.

The Investment and Contract Readiness Fund is a new £10 million fund, managed by The Social Investment Business, on behalf of the Office for Civil Society that aims to ensure social ventures are better equipped to secure new forms of investment and compete for public service contracts.
