Jo Harry from @TrussellTrust outlining the need to have open doors in engaging communities but making sure there is a strategic nature to making the links. Need to appreciate the benefit of the voluntary sector while understanding it doesn't come for free. #WLGA2023

[Janine Downing @JanineDowning]

Great to hear lots about the aspirations and benefits of working in #SocialPartnership in Wales at #WLGA2023. The Voluntary sector must be an equal partner and here is the opportunity to be the sector representative. Get in touch today 👍

[WCVA | CGGC @WCVACymru]

Last chance to show your interest in becoming the new Social Partnership Council rep!

The role of the representative will be to attend meetings and support a two-way flow of information to feed in and feedback between the Council and the sector.

Thank you @RebeccaEvansMS for acknowledging the need for reduced bureaucracy for LA's and stability through longer term grant agreements to be passed on to the Voluntary Sector in Wales. Early and continuous dialogue in difficult decisions will be key to this #WLGA2023
