Our Policy and Network team aims to connect people and organisations in our communities. By coming together we can share ideas, collaborate and work in partnership with the local authority, health service and justice system.
The ‘third sector’ is comprised of community groups, voluntary organisations, charities and social enterprises supporting and serving a wide range of society. What we all share is a passion for helping people, with kindness and respect. Find out more about our teams in this area.
