What we do
- Identify and collate the ideas, issues and priorities of voluntary and community organisations and groups and their members around key strategic issues.
- Ensure that these ideas, issues and priorities are effectively fed into strategic planning and decision-making processes within the borough and that the voluntary and community sector can be an active member of strategic partnerships and working groups.
- Present an informed voluntary and community sector perspective in report policy papers and briefings that can help to shape the agenda of strategic partner ships and working groups.
