Belonging: Exploring Identity and Place
We are pleased to announce our annual VCSE conference and AGM is returning on Tuesday 19th October at the AJ Bell Stadium in Salford.
This year our annual conference will be focusing on the importance of identity and place for communities, particularly as the pandemic has shone a spotlight on the deep inequalities and social fractures that impact on both place and communities of identity.
The conference will include a variety of speakers to inspire, motivate and inform attendees (further details coming soon) as well as opportunities for delegates to question, engage and network throughout the day.
We encourage VCSE organisations based in or working in Salford to attend.
Tea, coffee and a buffet lunch are also included.
The conference will host the Salford CVS AGM and the formal notice of our AGM will be sent to you separately.
