Information for Funders

The VCSE Voices Network is a bi-monthly meeting of Advocates and others to share information and provide feedback to influence strategic decisions.

The meetings are open to all, and we would love for you to join and help share information and knowledge.

Our VCSE Advocates attend different board meetings across the Local Authority and Health and Care Partnership to provide a voice and representation for the VCSE sector. Network meetings are a chance for you to benefit and connect with this work, and there’s lots for you to gain.

Meetings are driven by discussion, sharing and collaborative thinking.

Why attend?

Learn about current priorities, challenges and plans that could affect your work
Be part of the wider VCSE voice and influence key decisions by sharing your feedback, ideas and information with Advocates to take back to board meetings
Help build more collaborative services that priorities the needs of residents and communities, covering areas such as children, safety and housing

Meetings are held in person, held at a local community venue, and are self-led and chaired by our Advocates.

The next upcoming meetings are...

November Meeting: Tuesday 26 November, 10am to 12pm

We hope to see you there! If you'd like an informal chat before hand or would lie to present at a network meeting, please contact [email protected]
