Join us for our first Policy Forum of 2025, which takes place on Tuesday 17^th June from 9.00am  – 12.30pm at the Durham Leadership Centre in Spennymoor.

This will be the latest in a series of bi-annual conferences, led by the VCSE in County Durham.

The Policy Forums are planned to address policy themes which are important for our sector and for our communities. 

The general aims of the Policy Forums are to provide regular opportunities for the VCSE to meet public sector colleagues to share intelligence, showcase good practice, and to identify opportunities and gaps in cross-sector working relationships.

Policy Forums are planned to address policy themes which are important for our sector and our communities. Over the past few years, they have covered a diverse range of issues and themes including health, wellbeing, inclusive evidence, social value and partnership working. 

The theme for this forum will be Valuing and supporting a thriving VCS: what does good grant making look like?
