Gateway Centre, 45 Thackeray Road, Bradford BD10 0JR

The Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise landscape is ever-changing, now more rapidly than ever. Reduced funding and changing funder priorities, the need for increased collaboration and joint working, fighting to have your messaging cut through the noise, and the upcoming elections to add even more to the pot!

Our Area Networks are the perfect opportunity for you to come and address some of these challenges.

In the first half of the session we will address funding and sustainability challenges through practical topics. Attendees will gain strategies, connections, and confidence through presentations and Q&A.

The second half will  focus on the May 2026 local elections, where all council seats face re-election. We will explore how the voluntary sector should engage with this political transition.

Attend either session or join us for the whole morning.
