Networks
VSNW is a membership organisation, and many of its members are also membership organisations. VSNW is therefore sometimes described as a network of networks.
VSNW develops networks around areas of common interest and works in partnership with other networks. These thematic networks aim to bring voluntary and community sector organisations together to address strategic issues affecting their area of interest or work.
Current VSNW-facilitated networks include
- Third Sector Empowerment Practitioners' Forum
- Health & Social Care Network
- Learning & Skills Network
- PROMiSE: network for third and independent sector providers of mental health services in the North West
- North West Infrastructure Partnership
We will develop a fuller listing of regional third sector networks in the North West. In the meantime, we work closely with the following networks:
- North West Environment Link (NWEL)
- VCS Engage NW (supporting third sector engagement for the benefit of Children and Young People)
- Children England NW
- The Rainbow Partnership
- 50/50 Vision: the North West Forum on Ageing
As part of our network development activity, we have produced The Care Directory:
