The Association’s Member Networks for Directors and Leads are there to foster collaboration and learning within our membership community. These networks allow key leaders across our member organisations to connect, share insights, and navigate challenges together.

We aim to create confidential, safe spaces where colleagues can engage with their counterparts in similar roles from other organisations. These networks serve as platforms for sharing best practices, discussing common challenges, and offering mutual support. We envision these spaces being member-led and facilitated collaboratively, ensuring that no one individual carries the burden of leadership alone. By rotating facilitation, all members can contribute to shaping these valuable discussions.

We currently host the following Member Networks:

We’re currently exploring new networks including on Governance, Quality, and Risk, and Children and Young People’s Mental Health – please let us know if you’re interested in these areas and if you’d like to co-chair a network.

If you or your colleagues are interested in joining any of these networks, we encourage you to get in touch. These groups offer an exciting opportunity to collaborate, learn, and grow alongside peers who understand the unique challenges of leading within the VCSE mental health sector.

Please contact us to join or share this information with the relevant people in your organisation. We look forward to the incredible collaboration and innovation these networks will foster!
