Peterborough Infrastructure Consortium’s Showcase

Now we have got the volunteer awards event out of the way planning is underway for the next big event on our calendar. 3rd December is an important date for the local voluntary and community sector. This is the date of the Peterborough Infrastructure Consortium’s Showcase event.

The Peterborough Infrastructure Consortium is currently made up of 14 local charities. The purpose of the consortium is to strengthen the local voluntary sector by providing better representation, a stronger voice, training and development opportunities for volunteers, paid workers and trustees. The Consortium was officially formed in April 2008 however, as a group we have been meeting for over 2 years.

The Showcase event is being held at the Reception Room in the Town Hall with the formal business during the morning followed by a buffet lunch. During the event delegates will hear about the work of the consortium, future developments and how this affects small and large charities and voluntary groups. Events such as this provide an excellent opportunity for networking with partners from statutory organisations, national and regional representation, local Councillors as well as representatives from voluntary groups themselves.

If anyone is interested in knowing more or would like to book a place at the event please email me at sarah.fletcher@pcvs.co.uk
