In your area

The regional infrastructure development component of the VCS Engage programme is being lead by NCVCCO, which has appointed regional development managers (RDMs) for each Government Office region. The key functions of these roles are to:

• Support and develop the strategic involvement of the voluntary sector in their work with Local Authorities within the region, working with partners to identify their ongoing support and infrastructure needs.
• Act as a conduit from the national VCS Engage programme to the region.
• Support the development of improved links and coordination between Government Office and the VCS in each region.

Within regions
A steering group supports the role and oversees the work plan of the RDMs. It also:

• provides broad base experience across all sectors – children, youth, family
• provides access to contacts and networks
• helps bridge divisions between sectors

The steering group helps the RDMs link in with all the different work carried out in regions by other organisations, helping to prevent duplication where possible.
