Networks and forums

Richmond CVS runs a number of different networks and forums for the local Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) which can:

Provide information, support and solutions, especially for smaller groups
Facilitate the opportunity for people to give views and have their say
Enable people to share experiences, good-practice, learning, including peer support
Operate as an online group as well as facilitating face to face meetings

Richmond Trustee Network

The Richmond Trustee Network is for trustees and management committee members of local voluntary sector organisations. Offering an informal blend of networking and learning, the meetings are not formal training sessions. They are an opportunity to share experiences, good practice and learning with peers. Meetings are usually on Monday evenings, up to four times a year. Trustees from neighbouring boroughs are welcome to attend for a small charge.
