You are warmly invited to attend our upcoming Members’ Networking Event and Annual General Meeting to hear about the work we’ve been doing in the past year, and to meet colleagues from other member organisations.

You’ll hear from our Chair and Chief Executive who’ll be talking about our Annual Report following another positive year, with more organisations joining C3SC, whilst our work and projects have helped us to continue to support the local third sector to make a positive difference. They will also provide an overview of what to expect in the next twelve months in our support for the sector, and there will be plenty of opportunities for discussion and debate.

Start time: 1pm – Arrival and Registration
1.15-2.00pm – Networking Lunch and Third Sector Exhibition
2.00-2.30pm – AGM
2.30-3.15pm – Speakers and Question Time
Would you like to ask a question about the impact of the public sector funding cuts and how we should address them as a sector?

Panel:
Cllr Neil McEvoy – Plaid Cymru Councillor 
Cllr Peter Bradbury – Cabinet Member for Community Development, Co-operatives and Social Enterprise
Cllr Dianne Rees – Conservative Councillor for Pontprennau and Old St Mellons
Cllr Eleanor Sanders – Independent Councillor for Rhiwbina and Pantmawr

If you have a question to ask, let us know. If you have a question to submit, please email bookings@c3sc.org.uk – we’ll choose a selection of questions that reflect the breadth of perspectives from Cardiff’s third sector.

3.15-4.00pm – Members’ Networking Event: There was a real buzz at last year’s exhibition so we’re giving our members an opportunity once again to showcase their work, and link up with others in the third sector.
