Information for organisations
WHEN and WHERE: The event will be held at Show House, Church Lane, NewburyRG14 2DR, on Wednesday 25 June 2025, 9.00am-4.00pm
WHO: VCSE sector attendees: various stakeholders, members of the public, statutory partners, businesses and funders.
WHAT: The event is to showcase the voluntary and charity sector organisations offering services in West Berkshire. We have organised the showcase to provide an opportunity for people to find out more about West Berkshire’s voluntary sector services.
WHY: The event will enable statutory organisations such as West Berkshire Council, Police, Fire Service, Schools, The NHS and town and parish councils to engage with multiple VCS organisations. We want to make sure that people understand the range of support available in West Berkshire. We would encourage people to come along and ‘shop around’; visitors can spend as much or as little time as they like browsing the stands and talking to people from the different organisations. The event will also allow networking between CVS organisations and have workshops to allow for professional development of the VCSE organisations in attendance.
