Forums

 

We hold a number of different forums in North Devon, which spread good practice and create strong networks. These are key in helping us make sure that:

  • Voluntary and community organisations have appropriate information about policy and strategy that affects them
  • Voluntary and community organisations are enabled to work effectively together
  • The voluntary, public and private sectors are well-networked and supported to engage with one another and work effectively together
  • The contribution of the voluntary sector to North Devon is recognised by the general public, media and local politicians, and is taken into account in planning and decision making
 

Which forums in North Devon can I attend?
