Forums of Interest
Forums of Interest continue to be established within the Voluntary and Community Sector to enable VCS organisations with a common interest to share information. Forums of Interest may be formed of groups and organisations:
- delivering similar activities/sharing similar objectives
- providing common types of service
- targeting similar client groups
Each Forum of Interest has a representative on the VCS Assembly Board. Examples of Forums of Interest include:
- Shropshire Community Based Transport Consortium
- Shropshire Infrastructure Partnership
- VCS Training Providers Consortium
- The Children and Young People's Summit
- Shropshire Pan Disability Forum
- Voluntary Sector Mental Health Forum
- Voluntary Sector Health and Social Care Forum
- Visual Arts Network
- Shropshire Supported HOusing Providers Forum
- Shropshire Community Recycling Network
- Shropshire Heritage Forum
- Social Enterprise Forum
- Shropshire Information Advice, Advocacy and Guidance Forum
Interest has been shown in developing other Forums of Interest such as an Older People's Forum and Environmental Forum. If you would be interested in finding out more about the Forums of Interest contact the Assembly Coordinator on 01743 252740.
More detailed information is provided on a web page for each current Forum of Interest.
