Leaders Network
The Leaders Network is a space for VCSE leaders to come together, shape the sector and bring together leaders to support them in their organisational and sector leadership roles.
Meetings will run 8-weekly, with a mix of online and face-to-face, morning and afternoon, and various venues across the district to give as many people as possible a chance to attend.
Meetings will be arranged via the WhatsApp group.
We are a network of local voluntary and community sector organisations. Our members are leaders at all levels (not just CEO’s) so if you identify as a leader, whether it be leading an organisation, a team, a project or just yourself, you are welcome!
What the Leaders Network does:
- Shares relevant, up-to-date information on issues about the VCSE sector through meetings, the Briefing Bradford newsletter, the WhatsApp group and the Leaders Network mailing list
- Provides an opportunity to network with other voluntary sector leaders and build partnerships
- Works with the council and health partners to feed in insight and change how services work
- Provide advice and guidance on a wide range of issues. For example, we run training for staff and share resources on topics you find important.
How we do it.
- We engage with a diverse range of organisations. In particular, we support them to work together and learn from each other. Equally, we share useful information in a way that helps them with their work.
- Our representatives influence the people and organisations that make decisions and provide services for the VCSE sector.
- We share the experience and knowledge of voluntary sector organisations. As a result, changes are made to decisions and the way things are run.
- Our team develops relevant resources and learning opportunities for individuals and organisations within the voluntary and community sector.
