Bexley Voluntary Sector Forum

Bexley's Voluntary Sector Forum brings together Bexley’s voluntary and community organisations to help shape local priorities, strengthen the collective VCS voice, and drive meaningful collaboration.

This event offers a dedicated space to share insights, discuss emerging issues, and influence local decision‑making. By coming together, participants play an active role in shaping strategic plans and ensuring community needs are heard and represented.

Anyone from the voluntary sector in a leadership or decision-making role for their organisation is welcome to attend (we request one representative per organisation).
