Forth Valley Third Sector Conference 2020 Workshop Survey

Posted on August 23, 2019

Our teams at Stirlingshire Voluntary Enterprise (SVE), Clackmannanshire TSI (CTSI) and CVS Falkirk are currently in the process of organising the next Forth Valley Third Sector Conference, taking place in May, at a fantastic new venue in Stirling.

As the conference is specifically for the third sector, we feel it is important to have your input on the workshops we offer at the event. We’ve created a short online survey with a range of suggested workshop topics, and ask that you rank these in order of preference, based on what you feel will be of most interest and benefit to you.

The deadline for responses is 5pm on Wednesday 11^th September.

To complete the survey, please visit the SurveyMonkey page.

Alternatively, for further information, please contact Laura Jamieson by phone: 01324 692003, or email: laura@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
