We have recently heard several instances where foodbanks are struggling to cope with demand.  At the December Third Sector Forum’s: We will be collecting food donations that will be given to a local food bank, and would encourage attendees to donate.

These meetings are the perfect opportunity to bring third sector and community organisations together at locality level, encouraging creative thinking and ways of working that address local need and public policy.

If you will be attending any of these meeting, confirm your place by calling 01698 300390 or email thirdsectorforum@vaslan.org.uk. 

We are also offering organisations the opportunity to take stalls at this event in order to network and promote your services.  If you are interested please let us know using the same contact details
