Networks & Forums
The Third Sector network meetings convene at eVOLution and are a resource in which to give the sector a stronger voice, so that we can develop and deliver the services to help Third Sector organisations achieve their objectives and attain sustainability. These meetings are open to all organisations within the sector no matter how large or small.
The meetings enable organisations to come together to share information as a network to ensure the wider voluntary sector are kept informed and have opportunities to make their views known. The meetings then make it possible to feed views raised in the network meetings into the LSP, LAA, and other forums and to facilitate dialogue between public authorities and the Sector, to challenge delivery of service and identify gaps in the Third Sector, to appoint individuals to represent the voluntary sector on statutory and other bodies and to be a point of reference for local, regional and national organisations. We encourage and assist organisations in making collaborative bids for services, in a time where there is an economic downturn.
eVOLutions networks reflect the 5 delivery themes within the Darlington’s Sustainable Community Strategy (SCS) ONE DARLINGTON – PERFECTLY PLACED.
The names of the new networks are; Third Sector Prosperous Network, Third Sector Aspiring Network, Third sector Healthy Network, Third Sector Greener Network & Third Sector Safer Network.
This diagram below illustrates each of the themes and the ‘work strands’ within the 5 themes of the Sustainable Community Strategy.

Using the outline of the ‘work strands’, each organisation should be able to identify which network they will fit into or interested in attending. There is a possibility that organisations may want to attend more than one network.
