Join Us for a transformative day at our Symposium and AGM

 

When: Wednesday 20 November 2024

Where: Hatfield Place, The Street, Hatfield Peverel, Chelmsford, CM3 2ET

At Essex Community Foundation we are delighted to host our second Symposium, once again held at the lovely Hatfield Place with kind permission from Ian and Alison Twinley. The Charity Symposium is an opportunity to explore innovative strategies, foster greater stability and together champion a thriving civic society through the theme “Empowering Communities, Shaping the Future”.

Starting at noon and through to 5:30pm, peers will be engaging in these thought-provoking discussions. Also we will hear insights on how we can progress towards these goals from our pioneering speakers:

 

We will focus on addressing two critical questions to guide the future of the voluntary and community sector:

 

What innovative approaches can grassroots organisations adopt to empower communities and foster greater participation, inclusivity, and resilience in the face of increasing societal challenges.

How can the community sector build stronger collaborations with public and private sectors to ensure lasting social impact, while maintaining its independence and grassroots influence?

From 6:00pm we will share highlights from the Symposium at our Annual General Meeting. There will be networking opportunities with drinks provided, with discussion on how to strengthen our impact through innovation and collaboration.

 

Join us to shape the future of our communities together.

Parking: Ample space available | Nearest Train Station: Chelmsford or Hatfield Peverel
