I went to this last year and found it really useful. One of the things that was discussed was how many organisations don't regard themselves as part of the voluntary sector. I think arts organisations are amongst these. As many of you engage volunteers or infact work many voluntary hours as individual practitioners you may find this forum worth being aware of.
Wiltshire Voluntary Sector Forum – North & West
Spaces are quickly filling so book your space NOW to avoid disappointment
Wednesday 4th July 2012. 9:45am-12:30pm. Trowbridge Civic Centre, Trowbridge.
This Wiltshire VSF is focusing on the topic of Rurality.
Does your group have certain needs because it is located in a rural area?
Would you like to share these problems and identify solutions?
Would you like to network with other groups in your area?
This VSF is also valuable for groups not located in a rural area as you may also identify with the problems and issues identified as well as being able to benefit from networking opportunities.
We received some very positive feedback from the South & East VSF in May which focused on the same topic which can be found below:
“A fantastic opportunity to meet and talk to other organisations and to discuss issues which cover all organisations”
“It was useful to meet people from a wide perspective of involvement who brought different views to the meeting”
“A very well organised event – useful networking opportunity and information gathering”
