You might find it useful to engage with a Network or Peer Network to help progress the work of your organisation.
Networks are groups of people and organisations that come together to share ideas, information, issues and solutions around a common theme, a particular interest group or a particular area. Peer Networks are peer-led, which means they are run by the people who take part in them.
Set up to allow VCSE sector groups and organisations to shape local decision-making. These are split into three different networks; Communities of Place, Communities of Practice, Communities for Equalities.
You can find out more about each of these here: www.voscur.org/voice-influence
