As part of this process, Cllr Rita Patel (Assistant City Mayor, Communities, Equalities & Special Projects) has been hosting a series of engagement sessions on MS Teams with members of the local VCSE sector, to consider topics central to an effective VCSE support strategy.

The council has already held sessions on the topics of :
- Finance and funding
- Partnership and collaboration
- Civil society

They chose those topics following their reading, research, and discussions about the VCSE sector nationally, regionally and locally: past, present and future.
If you have not been able to join any of the sessions you have the opportunity to complete the relevant survey. The deadline for submission is 16 August 2021
