Update on the Area VCS Network Meeting 10th December 2009
About 15 people turned up for the meeting, which was chaired by Cllr John Kelly.
Those present were informed how the Washington Area Voluntary & Community Sector Network would feed into the Area Committee in relation to the Washington Local Area Plan.
Funding has been made available for more support from the Sunderland CVS but their representative was unable to attend this meeting.
Under restructuring of the City’s Community Development Service, Washington now has its own Community Development Officer, John Rostron. However as many will know John is on long term sick leave and Amanda Cantle, who covers the Sunderland North area, is filling in for him.
The Washington VCS Network will be represented by three elected representatives who will act as a conduit between the Network and the Area Committee.
There was a short workshop where we broke into 2 groups and discussed the terms of reference for the representatives.
The post of representative is self nominated and nomination forms must be received by 22nd January 2009. You can get your copy by clicking on the following link. SELF NOMINATION FORM
