The BME third sector continues to grow and provide a huge and diverse range of services to communities across the region. For this reason it is essential that WMREAB is able to support the sector to engage more in regional and national policy decisions that have the potential to change the way the sector works.
One of WMREAB’s key aims is to help build a well informed BME Third Sector that are aware of and can influence regional policy.
We want to hear from you!
If any of the resources concern you, please you, or completely confuse you, we’d like to know.
Your views help us to better understand the challenges that BME third sector organisations face. We’ll then use this information to lobby and influence the people who make decisions about the places we live, work and play in. Email your thoughts, queries, questions to info@wmreab.org.uk
