The 3-hour face-to-face session will be focusing on:
Building a Voluntary Sector Alliance in South West London
The voluntary sector across South West London is organising itself into a ‘VCSE Alliance’. Building on existing networks and forums, this Alliance will become an established part of South West London’s integrated care system (ICS).
This workshop will:
- Explain how integrated systems will work and what this means for voluntary organisations
- Provide an update on work that has been done so far
- Offer an opportunity for local voluntary sector colleagues to contribute ideas for how the alliance will operate.
The workshop will be interactive, with opportunities to ask questions and discuss hopes and concerns, including in regards to what is happening locally in Kingston.
We will also be covering:
- Update on the development of the VCSE Sector Strategy
- The latest on ‘Warm Spaces’ in the borough
- The new interim CEO of the Council, Sarah Ireland, will join us to address the Forum
