CVS Falkirk facilitates a range of forums for the third sector in the Falkirk area, aiming to provide the sector with the opportunity to discuss and debate issues, share knowledge, experience and practices, and to have a stronger voice in decision making processes.

We want to ensure that these forums are relevant and useful to our sector, and have launched an online survey to gather your feedback.

We’re looking to hear from all members of the sector, particularly those who have attended forums before, on what you would like to achieve and learn from them. The survey should only take 5 minutes to complete.

Not only do the third sector forums provide space to network and learn more about current developments within the sector, but they are also recognised as the main method of input for the Falkirk third sector to contribute to shaping local service provision and policy.

The forums are open to staff and volunteers from all third sector organisations and groups working in Falkirk (including social enterprises, voluntary organisations, charities and community groups). You can attend as many forums as you wish.

If you have any questions regarding this survey, or any of the forums, please contact Scott Malcolm by email: scott.malcolm@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
