The network has seen partnerships||

who would not||

Because the||
|||network
meetings
were held every week, this enabled relationships||

such strong connections||

We will continue to enable this type of||

nature ofthe network meetings
allowed||

|||continue to incorporate
in our future work supporting
BAME VCS||
|||groups.||
|||The most challenging
element was maintaining
a high attendance
rate||

meeting. We supported
25 group reps per||

Digital eNews to 1200subscribers.
In addition to using||

launched
in 2020 and has been a central||
|||platform
creating an open, collaborative
space for the sector and||

colleagues to engage. The network
has launched|a|

|||After Hounslow
Voice Network
was launched
during
the||

we successfully
continued
to run||

events online. This has increased accessibility
to our||
