shimWho do you think we are?shim
Many of you were involved in responding to the survey called The State of the Sector and CVAT is proud to invite you to an event where you can find out all about the whole voluntary, community and faith sector in Tameside.

 

Did you know there are over a thousand groups/organisations in Tameside delivering 1.4 million activities/ interventions with people every year?

Do you want to know more? Come and find out the facts about the sector and talk to others about how you can use this research to support your organisation, your partnerships,  and those you work with in the future.  Our new report (compiled by Sheffield Hallam University) demonstrates the significant social and economic impact of the voluntary sector across Tameside including trends resulting from the impact of the recession on our communities and of changes in public sector funding.

We will also be announcing the prize draw for those who completed the research.

To book onto this dynamic and interactive event please contact Candice Southern at CVAT by ringing 0161 339 4985 ext. 2021.
