Agenda:

  • VCS Forum (VCS - Voluntary and Community Sector) Sam, this is the meeting you attended a while back. It is a meeting that happens every 2 months with the aims of bringing local organisations together to discuss relevant issues, network and share information. Currently it is a very informal group but there are plans to make it more formal, have a membership process etc. A couple of the members of this group are coming to see me this week to see how this could tie in with HCN. I was wondering how straight forward it would be to give users of HCN and option to tick a box to say they want to be a member of the forum (there may be a question around eligibility to answer), there may also need to be a step for the forum to agree to allow them to be a member. Once they are accepted as a member either they could have a little flag / icon or there could be a separate page which a map which just displayed forum members. It would probably require a 'forum admin'.   HCA manages VCS database.
  • Usual review
  • VCSs don't want to replicate volunteering stuff they are doing with do-it.  
    • Directory could be useful but - Orgs that they are not in contact with are perhaps isolated for a reason.
