National Compact Workshop
Wednesday 21st January 2009, 1pm – 3.30pm
Gujarat Centre, Preston, PR1 8JN
A free half-day workshop providing a general introduction about the Compact, organised by VSNW (Voluntary Sector North West) and the Commission for the Compact. Please come prepared to discuss your views!
This is your chance to find out more about the Compact, the partnership agreement between government and the voluntary and community sector in England. The Compact is all about better partnership working and creating better outcomes for individuals and local communities. It recognises shared values, principles and commitments, and sets out guidelines for how both parties should work together, consult and make decisions.
What’s in it for you? Find out more about the Compact and how it can help you. The Compact can help voluntary and community organisations ensure they are treated fairly in any relationships they have with government bodies.
Who should attend? This workshop is designed for those working in small organisations in the North West. We are hoping for some lively discussions and participation from attendees.
