This forum brings reps from all of the Place-based Networks in the city together on a quarterly basis.
The forum exists to…
- Share learning & practice: Shared learning, developing practice together, mutual learning without needing to be the same.
- Amplify collective voice & influence policy: Feed into community planning, demonstrating the value of Place-based Networks, collectively advocating on poverty/inequality.
- Solve shared challenges: Capacity, coordination, participation, sustainability of partnership working.
EVOC’s role is to support this forum to work collaboratively at a strategic level and connect with community planning in the public sector.
There are a number of third sector place-based networks across the city that focus on cross sector, partnership working within more focused geographical areas, see here for more details.
