Engage for Good Forum

BVSC is working in partnership with Birmingham City Council to deliver an integrated programme of strategic engagement and development support for the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector. Central to this programme is Engage for Good, a VCFSE leadership forum to support collaboration, partnership working and improve opportunities for developing joined up approaches.

Engage for Good will create opportunities for public authorities and VCFSE leaders to convene around key social, community and service issues. It is a vehicle for VCFSE communication, co-ordination, problem-solving and community insight, capable of working collaboratively for community good.

We will create facilitated spaces and networks in response to sector identified priorities, where VCFSE organisations and public authorities can:

• discuss and develop responses to social need
• share best practice
• develop solutions to key challenges that will improve outcomes for citizens and communities across the city.
• Identify areas for support and development
• Identify opportunities for strategic investment

If you would like to become a member of the Engage for Good forum, please join as an Individual Member and tick the areas of interest to you.

Join Engage for Good Networks

We want leaders from a range of VCFSE sector organisations to be involved, reflecting the diverse and vibrant sector across the city and that this diversity is represented throughout the forum. If you would like more information or have a conversation about emerging issues and priorities please email [email protected].

There are currently four established networks that you can join:

  • Employment and Skills
  • Business Development and Funding
  • Environment and Energy
  • 'Time to Think' Learning

    How to Beat Self-Defeat

    Many of us have an inner voice that is so often harshly self-critical. Often we compare ourselves unfavorably with others or with our own unrealistic expectations of ourselves, and then we beat ourselves up for falling short. On this special day course, Gen Kelsang Rabten will explain practical methods for reducing self-defeating thoughts and guide a series of empowering meditations.
