A Changing Charnwood: Local Government Reorganisation and the VCS

A Changing Charnwood: Local Government Reorganisation and the VCS

Join us for an opportunity to explore how changes to local government structures could affect community organisations, voluntary groups and volunteers across Charnwood.

We’ll look at what the proposed changes could mean for the sector, the opportunities and challenges they may bring, and how local organisations can make sure their voices are heard.

The event opens at 9.45am for registration and refreshments, with activities beginning promptly at 10.30am. Following the programme, there will be time to stay and chat, network, and connect with colleagues until the event closes at 1.00pm.

Topics Include

We have listened to feedback from previous events and are excited to bring you a programme featuring:

• Local Government Reorganisation and the VCS
  An update on what Local Government Reorganisation means for the Voluntary and Community Sector from Rob Mitchell, Chief Executive of Charnwood Borough Council and VAL.
• Digital Skills and Technology Opportunities
  Hear about VCS organisations’ experiences of working with Loughborough College’s Digital Skills Hub and the opportunities available through T Level students, including access to state-of-the-art technologies. Places are still available.
• Capturing and Demonstrating Impact
  How do you measure and showcase the difference your organisation makes? Join a demonstration and interactive session exploring how Mentimeter can be used to gather feedback and capture impact, with audience participation throughout.
• Networking and Peer Support
  Enjoy light refreshments and make the most of valuable opportunities to network, share ideas, and build connections with colleagues from across the sector.

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an informative, engaging, and collaborative morning.
