Voluntary Community and Faith Sector Learning in Leeds

I just stumbled across this document - and was wondering why All Hallows is not included? any ideas?

Also, what about Third Sector Leeds?

Third Sector Leeds is a partnership group of voluntary and community organisations, charities, faith groups and social enterprises working in Leeds. It aims to be the point of engagement with the third sector in Leeds, working together to: develop third sector policies; engage with and influence decision makers and co-ordinate representation of the third sector on statutory partnerships and boards.

They are having an open event on Monday 1st November 2010 9am -12pm Leeds Civic Hall, (in the wake of the Government’s comprehensive spending review) to discuss how the voluntary, community and faith sector responds to the coming budget cuts. 

Alan Gay and Sandie Keene from Leeds City Council’s corporate leadership team will be speaking. There will also be a question and answer session with Alan, Sandie and LCC’s Chief Executive Tom Riordan.
This will be your chance to quiz Leeds City Council on how the budget cuts will affect your organisation and to decide how to work together as a sector. You’ll also get to hear about the work Third Sector Leeds has been doing to represent the sector in its first year of operation. Please note the last hour of the meeting will be for Third Sector representatives only.

Places are free but booking is essential. You can book online here.
If you have any questions please email info@thirdsectorleeds.org.uk or call 0113 213 2592

  1. I have been researching Leeds Voice and from further digging it turns out that Third Sector Leeds is run by the umbrella organisation of Leeds Voice.

    I think that All Hallows are not a part of the organisation because it is group which represents the needs of all social enterprises in Leeds, focusing on strategic regional issues, and, as All Hallows finds itself between a church and a community centre has not really engaged this strategic community centre aspect.

    I agree it something which they should be involved with to make their experiences and concerns voiced to the representative group organisation and also to immerse themselves in this culture and avail of the educational and networking opportunities they provide.
