Locality Forums are open to all VCSE organisations who are active in that locality and are completely free of charge. Find out all the latest support available from Support Staffordshire, share information and network with VCSE colleagues at 8 events held across the county 4 times per year.
As the Rural Community Council for Staffordshire and the local ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) Network member, we hold 2 Village Hall Network events per year.

Our VCSE Locality Forums take place every March, June, September and December. A typical Locality Forum consists of pre-booked speakers who attend to present on a specific topic or a new service coming to the locality. Every attendee then gets the opportunity to share their news too followed by a networking session.
Our June Locality Forums are slightly different, as we hold Market Place forums. This means our member organisations are invited to book a table in order to showcase and promote what they do. Our Market Place forums also include our Support Staffordshire Volunteer Recognition presentations, allowing our member organisations to nominate their volunteers and teams, who receive a certificate and a round of applause during the event.
