The next meeting is on 15 February at 2pm on Zoom

Macc are hosting the next discussion space for VCSE organisations to meet and discuss what organisations currently need from a venue as this may have changed due to the impact of Covid-19. This group aims to provide a space for VCSE organisations to discuss their current venue needs, what challenges there may be and what offers from other organisations are available.
 
This event will include the following discussion points:

• Future thinking about premises – particularly with the increased interest in remote working
• Interest in sharing spaces generally – and specifically for things like counselling services where smaller confidential spaces are needed
• Interest in a city centre hub space
• Offers available from VCSE organisations willing to safely share their current venue space
• Sharing examples of solutions VCSE organisations have developed in response to venue challenges, which other organisations may benefit from

 
This group is open to anyone from a VCSE organisation or group and you would welcome to pop in and join the discussion for as long as you can. If you or a colleague would like to attend, please contact [email protected] for further details.
