Working in partnership

Our regional staff coordinate regular network meetings for members to debate issues facing the sector. We work in partnership with colleagues in the Community Alliance (bassac, the Development Trusts Association and Community Matters). We are currently developing a series of roadshows across the North East bringing specialists to local venues to provide training and support to member organisations.

We also provide links between frontline voluntary and community sector organisations and regional and national policy and strategy groups. Our members can feel quite a long way away from national work – often based in London. We can help members take part in national work and contibute towards a stonger regional voice.
