Area Based VCS Networks
Each of the three areas of Northumberland - the North, South East and West (see map)- have their own voluntary and community sector networks, or are developing them. These are open to all voluntary and community organisations active in the Area they cover. They have 4 main purposes. Guiding principles can be found here.
- provide an Area based perspective for the sector
- provide a mechanism for information, opinion, ideas to be fed up and down
- share best practice & link in with thematic networks
- identify appropriate representation on Partnerships and the VCS Consortium
