Position Statements
Through the Stronger Communities Programme, The CVSF has created a range of 'position statements', which reflect the key priorities of our members (including those members who are experts in a specialist area).
These position statements will help The CVSF to clearly and confidently represent the views of our members, particularly at strategic partnership meetings.
Have a look at our flow chart to see how your input can make a difference.
A series of events, a key element of the Stronger Communities Programme work, brings together members to discuss issues which they have a shared interest in. A set of priorities relating to these issues is then agreed.
The position statements which CVSF members have developed over the past year can be seen below. As local issues and priorities change, the position statements will develop.
