If you’re part of Derbyshire’s VCFSE sector — and especially if you’re already a DVA member — this forum is for you.
We’re bringing the sector together again for our next DVA Forum, taking place Wednesday 13 May, 10:00am – 12:00pm at the St Thomas Centre, Chesterfield.
This is your space to connect with others across the sector, share what you’re experiencing, and hear the insight shaping how we move forward together.
Why you should be there
We know the pressures you’re facing — rising demand, funding uncertainty, and the challenge of continuing to deliver for your communities.
This forum is designed to:
- Reflect the real experiences of VCFSE organisations across Derbyshire
- Share the insight we’re hearing directly from members
- Create space for honest conversation about what’s happening right now
- Strengthen the connections that help the sector support each other
For our existing DVA members, this is also an opportunity to:
- Hear more about how your membership is working for you
- Explore the full range of support available
- Help shape how DVA continues to support the sector going forward
