The BIG Conference - Big Society. Bigger Partnerships. Big Potential
Date: 16 September 2010
Duration: One Day
Duration: 10am-4.30pm
Held at: The Novotel Hotel, 1 West Quay Road, Southampton, Hampshire, SO15 1RA
Suitable for: The Big Society and the encouragement for local communities to get more involved and to take ownership of local decision making is high on the Government’s agenda. Health, Housing and Social Care Organisations up and down the Country have over the years encouraged vulnerable and marginalised people to be part of and contribute to their local communities. However, their voice remains muted and the language of needs and deficiencies persist rather than the language of skills and talents. The ROCC 2010 Conference brings together an acclaimed group of speakers and organisations that have something to say on the matter. Government advisors, passionate and challenging leaders, inspiring communities and organisations will be there on the day. Book now, without delay, to secure your place and enjoy ‘The Big Conference’!
