Year 4 of the Third Sector Locality Networks
The Third Sector Locality Networks are the sector’s peer-led spaces to come together, network, find out what is happening locally and strategically, collaborate, and have your voice heard on a range of important topics.
Since launching in September 2022, 47 Locality Network events have been held, achieving a combined attendance of 2,000 attendees with over 300 third sector and partner organisations represented. September 2025 marks the start of the 4th year of the structure, with the preceding 3 years having been funded by South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership. Year 4 will be financially supported by VASLan, with the ambition of securing external grant funding to support year 5 and beyond.
Integral to achieving this objective will be the development of VASLan’s new locality orientated strategy, the development of which will be a key focus of the upcoming September Locality Network events. We hope to have as many third sector voices as possible represented, so please take the opportunity to attend your local event and help shape our future strategic direction in your locality.
