We run a number of networks for voluntary and community organisations, so you can meet, learn, and work together to influence local policies and plans.

Network meetings take place up to 6 times a year either in person or online.

Members also keep in touch with each other through our email groups.

The networks and email groups include:

  • children and young people network
  • trustee network
  • health and wellbeing network
  • small groups network
  • volunteer coordinators forum
  • green spaces network
  • CEO network

Network meetings

The network meetings offer peer support, advice, best practice guidance, networking opportunities and links to Community Works support services. You can hear updates about services, sector trends and plans. You can also share challenges and solve problems together.

Meetings are informal, allowing everyone to bring ideas and share information about their group’s activities. We also have guest speakers to share their expertise and insight.
