3D - Third Sector Support for Derbyshire

Events

How do we create an 'Environment for a Thriving Third Sector'?

21st November at The Bridge Centre, Langley Mill.

This event looked at National Indicator 7 which has been included in Derbyshire's Local Area Agreement. It is a great opportunity for the sector to have improved relations with it's public sector partners. Whether the Derbyshire Partnership Forum supports the VCS to thrive or not will be measured by a national survey of registered charities and not for profit organisations. The Culture Board, which is a thematic partnership (or sub-group) of Derbyshire's Partnership Forum are responsible for delivering against the target and invited the Voice for the VCS project to coordinate an event to look at what the issues are in more detail.

Representatives of 47 third sector organisations joined the members of the Culture Board to hear presentations about the indicator, the size and scope of the VCS in Derbyshire, what will contribute to a thriving third sector and how good partnership working can have a positive effect on all sectors. Presentations were followed by workshops where everyone had an opportunity to discuss what has helped or hindered their organisation in regard to the following themes;

partnership arrangements
funding relationships
ability to influence decisions]
support from 2nd tier organisations

The plenary session hoped to highlight positive and practical actions which would support the sector to thrive and these will be published in a report which will be available to download from this website by the 2nd week of December 08.

Thanks to everyone that came and made such a great event - so many people attended that even The Bridge Centre's huge Main Hall was bursting at the seams!

Findings from the day will contribute to the action planning process for the indicator. If you weren't able to attend the event, or have more to contribute then please contact Claire Thornber or Diane Scott.

You can download the report from the event.
