SUMMARY:VAEF Forum – Help Shape the Future of the Voluntary Sector in Epping Forest
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to attend the upcoming Voluntary Action Epping Forest (VAEF) Forum\, hosted in partnership with Active Essex and Epping Forest District Council. \nThis forum is a key opportunity for local voluntary and community groups to influence how support for the sector is shaped in the future. \nActive Essex has been asked to support the place-based approach element of Essex County Council’s VCS infrastructure work. To do this effectively\, we need to hear from you. \nWe’ll be gathering insights on: \n\nThe strengths of the voluntary sector in Epping Forest\nWhere your organisation currently receives support\, and from whom\nYour current organisational and infrastructure needs\nHow we can better share local knowledge to support wider VCS goals\n\nThere will also be time for networking with refreshments\, and optional 1:1 sessions with Active Essex. \nYour voice matters. This work will directly impact how the VCS is supported locally—so we encourage all local groups to attend and share their views. \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \nTo register your place\, please email ngavens@vaef.org.uk before 28th May 2025. \n
