Building Community: Connected Voice AGM 2026

A large group of people in a meeting room chatting

Join us on Thursday 23 April for our next AGM, which will focus on the theme of Building Community.

Our keynote speakers are Vicky McDermott, Director of Housing and Communities at Newcastle City Council, who will speak about how the Council is working in different ways to bring people together and improve lives. We will also hear from Rhodri Davies of Why Philanthropy Matters, who will give us some food for thought on the challenges of building community in the current age, where advances in technology mean we struggle to have a common understanding of what is real or true. In addition, local VCSE organisations will share how they have brought communities together. Organisations to be confirmed.  

As usual, we will also be sharing information on our impact over the past year, sharing our annual accounts and report, and appointing new trustees.
