This meeting is open to all Gateshead VCSE Leaders - Organisation Leads, Chief Executives, Senior Managers. To sign up to this event, visit our website.
The Gateshead VCSE Leaders meeting is a quarterly forum that brings together leaders from across VCSE sector organisations operating in the borough. It provides a dedicated space to connect with peers, exchange updates, share challenges and opportunities, and build stronger working relationships.
Meetings also include contributions from senior public sector partners - including Gateshead Council, NECA and the NHS - giving VCSE leaders direct access to strategic discussions, emerging priorities, and policy developments. Through these conversations, attendees can influence decision making, highlight the needs of local communities, and help shape collaborative approaches across the borough.
This meeting will feature:
• Martin Short, Integrated Care Board Newcastle and Gateshead Director, will outline the ICB’s strategic commissioning transition and what this means for the VCSE sector at a local level.
• Lindsay Murray, Gateshead Council Service Director Culture and Communities, will provide information on her new role following the recent management restructure.
• Iain Burns, Gateshead Council Service Director – Chief Executive’s Department, will provide an update on current Council developments.
Additional agenda items will be attended once confirmed.
