Networking Forums
Third sector organisations are key in helping tackle some of the deep-rooted issues our communities face. Working together, we can build stronger links, encourage collaborations and unlock the full potential of the sector and make an even greater impact on the lives of those who need us most.
One of the ways we can support this is through our calendar of monthly networking forums, providing a space for discussion, collaboration and joint training opportunities. Membership is open to any locally-based third sector organisation and to regional and national organisations funded to or proactively providing services in West Dunbartonshire.

Being Well Network
A self-management and wellbeing network supporting people living with long term health issues and their carers to link with charities and agencies to better understand and manage their health conditions.
If you are a patient or an organisation looking to join the network, or just want to learn more, contact us
Other Forums and Groupings
We are also keen to support forums and groupings around other themes where we can. This could be by offering meeting space, online space or secretariat services.
Sector Conference
In addition, we host an annual sector conference each Autumn. The conference features a variety of workshops throughout the day on topical issues, along with a panel discussion. Details will be provided in the e-bulletin and on our social media channels.
