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.

The Suffolk Compact

 We, at SAVO, are the drivers of the Compact in Suffolk. A Compact way of working underpins the way we operate and we aim to champion its use and sign-up within Suffolk. This section gives information about the Compact in Suffolk and how it can be used.

Partnership Development

A partnership exists when two or more organisations "share resources to reach a common goal". Part of our ethos at SAVO is to bring together organisations and sectors in partnership, plus develop and strengthen existing ones.
