The ‘Vision and Voice’ conference is the local voluntary and community sector’s opportunity to directly input into the vision for Reading 2030. Under discussion will be the key issues that the VCS want to see included in the refreshed Sustainable Community Strategy. Presentations and workshops will identify aspirations, priorities and ideas on how Reading should adapt and grow to promote the wellbeing of the town’s residents.
More information on the conference, including speaker information and further details of a ‘take-away toolkit’ to help local groups identify their own priorities, will be available shortly. Please check this web page for more details.
The conference is free to anyone involved with a voluntary and community group in Reading. However, due to high demand, spaces may need to be limited to one delegate per organisation. To book your place, please contact Anna Fowler on 0118 958 4849.
