Thank you to Penny Wilson who facilitated the VCS Assembly titled Adaptive leadership in uncertain times on 19 November.
It was a great learning session and KCSC will be diving into the feedback to help inform future topics and sector development needs.
Some feedback from participants who attended told us what they hoped to get out of the session such as ‘to gather some insights for weathering the forthcoming storm’ and ‘to think about how to lead the board though a new strategy in challenging times’.
The Digital Network Partnership was set up during the Pandemic and meet on a regular basis to discuss digital advancements, opportunities and gaps. Members of the Group are from both the statutory and voluntary sector. On Thursday 3 April 2025, KCSC in collaboration with the Digital Network Partnership held an assembly to focus on developments to support digitally excluded residents since the Pandemic, improvements to digital access for community groups. There was also the opportunity to explore what further support is needed for local organisations.
