Local MPs Steve Webb and Jack Lopresti to attend the Debate on the Big Society
November 23rd, 2010Friday 10th December 2010 will see local MPs coming together with South Gloucestershire s voluntary and community sector in Bradley Stoke for a dialogue about the Big Society agenda.
This is a chance for the MPs to meet groups working directly with local communities, supporting their transformation as the deliverers of the Big Society. It is also a great opportunity for the voluntary sector to showcase the wonderful breadth, diversity and value of the work being done.
“The UK political and societal landscape is in a state of major flux. We hope this event will bring some clarity to the Big Society vision for transforming the landscape of our communities, to how the local voluntary and community sector can support this transformation, and examine just how it might be achieved under the current climate of spending cuts,” Clare Adamson, Voluntary Voices Coordinator, CVS South Gloucestershire.
This event is being hosted in partnership by Voluntary Voices, the South Gloucestershire wide voluntary sector forum, run by CVS South Gloucestershire and the local Severnvale Community Network, run by Southern Brooks Community Partnership.
The event will be run in a conference-type format with a Question Time session integrated, and many stalls showcasing the voluntary sector for perusal over arrival coffee, tea breaks and lunch.
This event is for the voluntary and community sector organisations and groups and is not a public event. It is absolutely essential that people book places for this event by contacting Clare Adamson. Anyone who just turns up on the day will be turned away – this is to ensure they do not go over capacity for Health & Safety reasons.
