Dear Colleague,

I would like to introduce myself as a new Involvement Officer,

community consultations, we are pleased to also be involved in the
development of the local Equalities network for the Community
Voluntary Sector Forum CVSF.

Network that will be held on the Thursday 11th December, Jubilee
