Partnership Work
It can be difficult to negotiate your way around the myriad of partnership meetings that take place in the borough each week!
Some of the meetings are extremely important for the Voluntary Sector to attend, others less so. We hope that with our close strategic relationships to members of the Harrow Strategic Partnership, we can help you identify meetings that will be of use to your organisation.
Key statutory agencies such as Harrow Council and Harrow Primary Care Trust work with HAVS to consult on new policies and strategies. HAVS disseminates this information through its mail outs and on occasion will hold public meetings to inform the sector of the developments.
If you need information about which Partnership is relevant to your area of work or how you can become involved in various initiatives, please contact Julia who will be able to point you in the right direction.
