Following our previous conferences, Stirlingshire Voluntary Enterprise (SVE), CVS Falkirk and Clackmannanshire TSI (CTSI) are delighted to announce that we will be holding our third annual Forth Valley Third Sector Conference on Tuesday 12^th May at the brand new Barracks Conference Centre in Stirling, and booking is now open via Eventbrite!

Our theme this year is “Investing in Your Place: People, Place, Participation”, reflecting our commitment as Third Sector Interfaces to helping community groups, charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises throughout the Forth Valley area continue to thrive and learn by making the most of their own communities.
