Information & Resources
Third Sector LCP Facebook Group
A Third Sector LCP Facebook Group has been set up to help organisations from the diverse Third Sector connect and engage with the LCPs, when they cannot always be present in meetings. The group contains links to meeting agendas and meeting notes from all 15 LCPs, as well as information on funding, training and service information. More so, the group is a space for the sector to have conversations about what’s going on in the LCPs, connect with others and build upon good work in our different communities.
