Lincolnshire Children & Young People’s Voluntary Sector Forum (CYPVSF)
The CYPVSF aims to be a positive voice for voluntary sector views across the county, and influence the development of services for children and young people. This well established working Forum is open to any voluntary or community group working in the sector. The Forum seeks to harness the existing skills, drive and resources within the children and young people’s sector by connecting people to improve partnership working and provide an excellence in frontline delivery services for children and young people.

VCS Engage East Midlands
VCS Engage is a national programme funded by the DCSF, through Children England, working across the children, young people and family (CYPF) sectors.
The main aim of the group is to share information and to offer mutual support to local infrastructure so that the best possible outcomes can be delivered to CYPF.  The group works collaboratively with key regional stakeholders to influence policy and support good practice around members' involvement.
Quarterly meetings are well-attended by a wide range of organisations delivering services to children and young people across the age ranges (including play, pre-school and youth services).  Representatives from key stakeholders include Play England, Government Office and the Children’s Workforce Development Council (CWDC) also attend.  The meetings provide opportunities for wide-ranging discussions about the ‘state of the sector' and creative thinking about ways forward.  For more information, please look at www.vcsengage.org.uk/
