Business and VCFSE Leaders – Exploring Partnerships and Sharing Skills

Date: Thursday, 29 January

A networking event to connect the the VCFSE and business sectors.

Do you a have project or idea that would benefit from some business-focused support? Perhaps you have an event that needs sponsorship and people power, or a gap on your Board that could use some outside perspective?

Join us for this special forum, hosted in partnership with the Somerset Chamber of Commerce, where leaders of voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations can build connections and identify opportunities to work with local businesses.

Whether you’re looking to develop relationships with businesses, establish a mentoring relationship with someone outside of the VCFSE sector, or explore creative ways to work in partnership and find mutual benefit, we’d love you to join us.

We’d also love to hear from groups or organisations who already have a great working relationship with a Somerset business and are willing to share their success stories.

This will be an exciting opportunity to reframe our working relationships, and utilise the social value that business colleagues can bring to the voluntary sector.

A limited number of subsidised tickets are available to VCFSE organisations based in Somerset. For more information, please email james.landamore@sparksomerset.org.uk.
