Past Events
Neath Port Talbot CVS Events
- ‘Changing Places’ Meeting
Neath Port Talbot CVS hosted a breakfast meeting on June 11th, on behalf of the High Sheriff of West Glamorgan, Rowland Jones, where he outlined his programme of activity for his term of office. Held at Blanco’s Hotel, the meeting, entitled ‘Changing Places’, aimed to bring together local businesses to explore ways in which they could work with local communities to the benefit of each other. Along with key partners in the public and third sector, the private sector has a key role to play in making a difference in our communities, whether by providing inspiration, role models or practical support and advice. The valleys in particular, have natural assets in terms of beauty and heritage that can, along with its people, be used to improve the economic prosperity of its communities. In partnership with Neath Port Talbot CVS, the High Sheriff intends to hold a number of smaller events in local communities, involving business and community organisations, to discuss ways of developing their local area and increasing opportunities for economic prosperity.
