One of SAVO's key roles is to offer and faciliate representation and partnership development for the voluntary and community sector. We do this on a local, countywide, regional and national level. We are working hard to formalise the way we represent and how we link to our partners.
We have recently published a report into how the VCS are represented at a strategic level in the county: Voluntary & Community Sector Representation in Suffolk and the role played by VCS Infrastructure Organisations (747KB, PDF)

Our Representative Role
( 2 items )
 SAVO are often asked to sit on meetings as a representative of the VCS. In terms of staff, we are a small organisation and resources do not allow us to attend every meeting or event. In some cases, it is not SAVO that is actually required, rather a VCS organisation with a particular knowledge or skill. We are, therefore, developing a framework with partners to ensure that the voice of the Sector is heard, at the right level and in the right forum.
