Helping organisations and groups to grow
Helping voluntary and community groups, social enterprises and charities to thrive by developing essential business skills is an important part of our representative role.
North Yorkshire VCSE Leaders Group
The group exists to enable a continuing and trusted dialogue on strategic issues between influential organisations. It will share intelligence to influence and effect change.
The aims of the group are:
- To identify priorities and common positions on matters of mutual interest, so that these can be reflected to decision-making organisations in other sectors
- To influence the decisions of key bodies in other sectors, in the interests of communities
- To contribute to papers and topics being discussed at other meetings
- To support the production and shared implementation of the sector and other strategies and plans
- To oversee the development and management of sector-specific projects and initiatives as appropriate
- To be alert to contract and funding opportunities as they arise, and plan opportunities for joint-bidding where appropriate.
Forthcoming meetings in 2022 are 2-4pm: Thursday 19 August, Thursday 18 November.
