The Big Meet: VCFSE Assembly

On the 11th March, gather together to hear more information about how Live Well, Pride in Place and Progress with Unity will involve VCFSE partners. 

Hear from Alison McKenzie-Folan, Live Well lead and Wigan Council CEO, who will open the day and discuss how Live Well and Pride in Place tie together within the broader Progress with Unity strategy.
Claire Burnham will have a chat about Pride in Place and what that's looking like in the two different areas. You'll also hear about Live Well Ageing in Place, Down to Earth and Wigan's Culture Stategy. Karen Parker from WBCF will talk about the future of WBCF, the VCSE Accord, our priorities for the next year, and how you as a sector are vital in ensuring communities thrive and live well.

Over lunch and through the afternoon, there's plenty of opportunity for informal conversations with strategic leads, talk more to providers who have been funded through Live Well funds so far, and try out some of the activities they are delivering with their communities. 

We will also have a workshop from Kerry at Brilliant Thing with activities provoking your reflections on your hopes and dreams, and the opportunity to commit those hopes and dreams to film with Martin Green from Green Room Productions.

There will be a quiet zone for anyone feeling the need for a break, hosted by a neurodivergent practitioner.
