The Voluntary Organisations Forum is a borough wide network of
community based organisations coordinated by the Kensington and
Chelsea Social Council.
The aim of the Forum is to bring voluntary and community groups in
Kensington and Chelsea together to work on issues of mutual
interest.
The objectives of the Voluntary Organisations Forum are:
- to share information on local and national developments of
interest to voluntary and community groups, including new funding
opportunities
- to elect people to represent the voluntary sector in
discussions with the Council and other statutory agencies and to
partnership boards
- to establish sub-groups, sub-committees and forums for
organisations working with specific client groups and on particular
issues
- to act as the community network for Kensington and Chelsea in
relation to the Local Strategic Partnership
Membership of the Voluntary Organisations Forum is open to any
voluntary organisation or community group based in or operating in
the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. There is no membership
fee.
Individual people living or working in the Borough are welcome
to attend meetings and to speak but not to vote. Membership is not
open to statutory organisations, although people working for
statutory organisations may be invited to make presentations to the
Forum from time to time.
In addition to the main Voluntary Organisations Forum, the
following specialist forums are currently in existence:
- Children and Families Voluntary Organisations Forum
- Older Persons Voluntary Organisations Forum
- Engaging Communities Voluntary Organisations Forum
If you would like to get involved in the Voluntary Organisations
Forum, to receive regular information about future meetings and
events, contact Kensington and Chelsea Social Council at: http://www.kcsc.org.uk/.
