The Black Voluntary/Community Services Collaborative Network
There is a current proposal to establish a Black Voluntary and Community Organisation Network, of place-based African and Caribbean organisations in the Bradford District.
The idea is that working collaboratively rather than competitively, would benefit more organisations and create a strong Collective Voice for the Black Voluntary/Community sector, with funders and other statutory organisations.
