Our regular networking space for anyone working or volunteering at a Wakefield-based VCSE organisation. Connect, collaborate and learn!

 

Do you work or volunteer at a local charity, community group or social enterprise in Wakefield District? You need to know about these brilliant meetings - they're run BY the sector, FOR the sector.

All VCSE colleagues are welcome to join, whether that's for the odd one or two or every one.

The aim of the group is to aid communication and collaboration across our sector, bringing us together so that we can better serve each other and our communities.

There's lots to gain from these meetings - from personal development to getting the word out about your organisation. So let your team know to book a spot, tickets are limited!

Here's some ways you can make the most out of Connecting Wakefield:

  • Share information about your organisation's work and any exciting updates
  • Meet local organisations who could support your work - through collaboration, signposting to your services or just a friendly chat
  • Make connections with our guest speakers from various sectors, including local authority & health and care colleagues
  • Hear first hand about projects and resources that could support you

So, what's planned for November?

In November, the topic covered will be Creative Health.

We'll be joined by Steven Busfield from Empath Theatre. He will explain what creative health is, its vital role in supporting health and wellbeing, and give real-world examples of best practice in organisations similar to yours.

Together, we'll explore the relevance of creative health to the VCSE sector, try out a hands on creative health activity, and share ideas, learning, and collaboration opportunities.
