Our aim is to encourage greater understanding of the role the BAME third sector can play as a partner to improve and help deliver agendas locally. To do this, we're bringing together public, private and third sector agencies to formulate strategies which will increase collaborative working.

The role of the BAME third sector and the work these organisations carry out is very often misunderstood. This event offers an opportunity for honest dialogue and a chance to improve understanding about how BAME organisations can work with public sector agents locally towards common objectives.

There will be a number of interactive workshops for groups to discuss how they can be involved in delivering policy driven initiatives at a local level, and put forward questions to key statutory bodies.

After the event MiNet will extract best practice and share this more widely across London and with key decisions makers.
