We are pleased to introduce summaries from our ‘vital voices’ community forums. These events give a platform to small grassroot organisations in Buckinghamshire, and help them connect with influential people on key issues to create change and make a difference.
The importance of building relationships
In our second Vital Voices community forum we were joined by the National Lottery Community Fund to hear from small local charities about the importance of building strong and lasting relationships between small charities and grant-makers.
The Effect of the Cost of Living Crisis on small charities
Our first community forum focused on the challenging financial situation of recent years and the impact the cost of living crisis has had on small charities. The event was hosted in partnership with the Bank of England and a number of small local community groups.
