Cheshire West Voluntary Action

At CWVA, our vision is championing the community sector – building trust, influencing, inspiring.

We work with community organisations, as well as partners in other sectors, across west Cheshire.

Our staff have extensive knowledge and skills to help community sector organisations thrive, supporting with things like governance, good practice, volunteering, funding, training, networking and more.

Thank you for booking on to the Local Voices Training! We look forward to seeing you there. If you have any questions in the meantime, please do get in touch!

There are many organisations and people across West Cheshire who coproduce services or work closely with people with lived experience in a number of different ways. Whether that's through consultations, focus groups or even surveys. The aim of this session is to increase understanding of the Local Voices Framework and the principles behind it...as well as the different approaches and ways you can work in partnership with people who have lived/living experience. What we will cover: <ul><li>Reflection - where are you currently on your journey of lived experience involvement? (This could be an idea, feeling, question, something you are already doing)</li><li>What do we mean by "lived experience"?</li><li>Introduction to the Local Voices Framework and Principles</li><li>What you need to consider when starting out...</li><li>"How to" - Different approaches and ways of working more closely with people who access your services/who have lived experience (putting the Local Voices Principles into practice)</li></ul>

Thank you for registering for the discussion about the Civil Society Covenant Framework. We'll be back in touch with joining instructions closer to the time.

This is an opportunity for community sector organisations to discuss the Civil Society Covenant Framework, which is being launched as the Prime Minister has made it a priority to reset the relationship with the civil society, including the community sector, and build a new partnership that can harness the sector’s full potential.
