We’re Stronger Together: Dorset VCS Partnership Event

13th March 2026

Join us on 14 May 2026 for this year’s biggest collaborative event – bringing together voluntary and community groups and organisations from across Dorset, alongside partners from Dorset Council and the NHS.

This event is an opportunity for organisations of all sizes to connect, share experiences, and build relationships across sectors. Together, we’ll explore how we can better understand each other’s work, strengthen partnerships, and identify new ways to collaborate to support communities across Dorset.

Whether you’re a small community group, a large charity, or already a partner organisation, this event will provide valuable opportunities to network, learn from others, and shape stronger cross-sector working in Dorset.

It will be a day of:

  • Keynote speakers from Dorset Council & NHS leadership
  • VCS group presentations
  • VCS marketplace stands
  • Networking and connection

The event is being held on Thursday 14 May (09:30-16:30) at The Pavilion, Weymouth.

Find out more by visiting the Volunteer Centre Dorset Website and view the full agenda and link to book your free place here.

During your registration, if you’re a grassroots VCS organisation, there is an opportunity to register your interest to do a short presentation about what you do, and any VCS can host a table with information.

So come along, make new connections, and be part of building a more joined-up approach for Dorset’s communities.
