Voluntary and Community Sector Representation

It is vital as both an advocate for local service users and as a provider of services that representatives from the Voluntary and Community Sector can help contribute to and influence local decision-making. Voluntary and Community Sector representation is undertaken both by SCVO, on behalf of the Sector, and by members of front-line organisations who have been identified and selected through the Forums that we facilitate and regular meetings.

The information on this page gives you a broad overview of who is representing the Voluntary and Community Sector and where this is taking place. As the partnership arena changes on a regular basis the information given is limited. If you wish to discuss the role and remit of individual representatives and the meetings they are attending, or you wish to raise an issue through this representative, please contact that person directly.
