As we move into 2021 we are considering how we as a sector can mobilise our organisations and our collective resources to continue to deliver alongside our communities, to rebuild and come back better.

We know it’s really tough at the moment. We’re here to help. To find out how, why not join us at our interactive Members’ Event and AGM?

This year's event will be held online via Zoom and registration is free.

It will be an opportunity to reflect on all that we and you, our members, have achieved during this extraordinary Coronavirus pandemic. Importantly we’ll also look to the future and the role of Community First as a modern CVS in supporting and championing the sector. What can we do to engage and support you? How can we collaborate to meet the new and emerging challenges facing our communities?Find out more about our renewed membership offer including:

• Our exciting plans for a programme of events in 2021 exploring key issues in health, social action, the economy and young people
• Masterclasses on marketing, business and financial planning, income generation and measuring our impact.
