SUMMARY:Charity Networking Event - March 2025
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our first Charity Networking Event of 2025. We run these events quarterly to bring together charities and community groups across North Surrey to connect\, share ideas\, and gain valuable insights to support their work. \nThis is a great opportunity to build relationships with fellow third-sector colleagues and potential funders. \nThe first hour of the session will feature speakers sharing insights on key topics for the sector. In the second half\, you’ll have a chance to network over tea and coffee\, exchanging ideas and making new connections. \nWe’re pleased to announce that our first speaker will be Mark Nuti\, Cabinet Member for Health and Wellbeing and Public Health for Surrey County Council. He will be discussing devolution and its impact on Surrey\, as the county has been selected for the first wave of reorganisation. This follows the decision to delay May’s County Council elections as part of the process. \nWe’ll also hear from Helen Frary\, Voluntary Support’s Chair of Trustees\, on trusteeship\, and Jo Buckell\, our Runnymede and Corporate Engagement Manager\, on skill-sharing between charities and businesses. \nThe event will take place at Enterprise in Egham between 10am and 12pm and you can book your place using the short form below. \nFor any questions\, please contact Jordan at jordan@voluntarysupport.org.uk or call us on 01932 571122.
