| VCS representatives in Newcastle |
|
Representatives are members of the voluntary and community sector (VCS) who help to inform and influence the development of strategy and delivery on the key multi-sector partnerships in the city. Listed below are VCS representatives on Newcastle's five key partnerships. It is worth noting that the partnerships tend to set up sub-groups to lead on particular priorities or functions and so the list below is only a small number of the total VCS representatives involved. If you have an issue, feedback or question, please share them with the relevant rep so they can better represent the view of the sector as a whole. To contact any of the VCS representatives first get in touch with Newcastle CVS policy officers This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
