Engagement process description
Voices from the voluntary sector event
Tuesday 29th July 2025 at 10:00am to 12:00 noon
Priory Community Centre, Priory Road, Dudley, DY1 4DS
This workshop is for people from organisations who have shared their views so far as well as people from other VCFSE groups and organisations operating in Dudley borough, and those who may be interested in delivering infrastructure support within Dudley borough in the future. The information gathered from this workshop will help shape future proposals including any potential tendering process and associated service specification.
During this workshop we will share the insight we have gathered over the last few months from speaking to people about support for a thriving and inclusive voluntary sector. You will have the opportunity to reflect on priorities for the future and the information gathered during this workshop will help shape future proposals for voluntary sector infrastructure support.
Arrival at 10:00am for a 10:15am start. Tea, coffee and water will be available.
