Listen to our voices!

An Election Debate about voluntary organisations & community action, with prospective parliamentary candidates from major parties.

  • Over 500 community & voluntary groups operate in Stafford Borough
  • Our total turnover in Stafford Borough is in excess of £43m per year
  • We provide services to all sections of the community, often at low or no cost
  • Many organisations work with people often ignored by Government agencies
  • We are part of local communities; our volunteers are from our communities

But do our voices get heard by our elected representatives?
Well, here’s our chance:

Thursday 8th April at 7pm
Rising Brook Centre, Burton Square, ST17 9LT

Prospective parliamentary candidates from Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrats and the Green Party have all agreed to attend
  • Has our trust in politicians collapsed & how can they bring back our confidence?
  • What will our MPs do to help community cohesion?
  • How will elected politicians represent voluntary organisations & volunteers working for the citizens of Stafford Borough?
  • How will the Voluntary and Community Sector get a stronger voice and who will be listening to us when we do?

Bring your questions for our parliamentary candidates.

Our voices are strong: together we can get our politicians to take notice of our views and plans for a better Stafford Borough.
This event has been organised by Stafford District Voluntary Services on behalf of the Voluntary and Community Sector in Stafford Borough.
