This month will see the initial locality based Third Sector Forum (TSF) events being held across South Lanarkshire. These locality events are an opportunity for Third Sector organisations to network and share their thoughts, views and experiences and help to develop a strong Third Sector which contributes, informs and adds value to Community Planning Partners.
The TSF is a new engagement platform, supported by VASLan, bringing third sector and community organisations together at locality level, encouraging creative thinking and ways of working that address local need and inform public policy.
This is an exciting step in sector engagement, and I would encourage as many organisations as possible to get involved.
The meetings will take place at the following locations:
Hamilton, Blantyre & Larkhall: 2pm on Wednesday 27th January 2016 at Hillhouse and Earnock Community Centre (Hillhouse Road, Hamilton, ML3 9TX).
East Kilbride & Strathaven: 10am on Thursday 28th January 2016 at Calderwood Baptist Church, (Maxwellton Road, East Kilbride, G74 3LW).
