Voices from the voluntary sector

This workshop is for people who have shared their views on voluntary sector infrastructure support so far, as well as people from other voluntary sector groups and organisations operating in Dudley borough, and those who may be interested in delivering voluntary sector infrastructure support within Dudley borough in the future.

During this workshop we will share the insight we have gathered over the last few months from speaking to people about support for a thriving and inclusive voluntary sector. You will have the opportunity to reflect on priorities for the future and the information gathered during this workshop will help shape future proposals for voluntary sector infrastructure support.

Arrival at 10:00am for a 10:15am start. Tea, coffee and water will be available.

Additional information for potential providers

Participation or non-participation in this workshop shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of this event shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process.
