What does a stronger North East economy look like for our people, places and communities – and what role does the VCSE sector play in creating it?
The VCSE sector is already a vital part of the North East economy. Our organisations create jobs, develop skills, tackle inequalities, support healthier communities, strengthen places and reach people that other services and institutions often cannot.
But is that contribution fully understood and valued? And, as devolution changes where decisions are made and regional economic priorities develop, how do we make sure the VCSE sector has the recognition, influence and support it needs to play a full part in the North East’s future?
This year’s conference will create space to explore those questions together.
