Catalyst hosts many Forums, providing an opportunity for Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations in Stockton to come together and talk about the issues that matter.
Our forums
Voice Forum is an open meeting for any VCSE organisation either based or delivering services in Stockton-on-Tees. It is an ideal forum for sharing information, discussing issues in the local community and a great opportunity to network with other organisations from the Borough. This meeting is well attended by a wide-ranging selection of organisations and services.
Next Meeting: Thursday 12th November @ 10am
Catalyst and colleagues in the sector identified the need for a specific health and wellbeing forum in order for the sector to come together and develop a co-ordinated, strategic view and plan on how we can deliver health and wellbeing services in the Borough of Stockton-On-Tees.
Next Meeting: Tuesday 29th September @ 11am
This forum is organised and coordinated by a partnership of Catalyst and Cornerhouse Youth Project. We encourage attendance for all VCSE organisations that work with children and young people across Stockton to share ideas, updates and best practices. Statutory service and private providers are also welcome to attend if they wish.

Next Meeting Date:
The purpose of the Forum meetings is to bring together all the Voluntary Community Sector and Enterprise and Refugee Community Organisations to discuss the delivery of services to the Refugee and Asylum Seekers Community. This kind of networking will improve the quality and effectiveness of the current service delivery for new arrivals and those already in the asylum process.
The Stockton Funders Forum is part of Catalyst’s Community Programme and brings together funders and the VCSE sector so that they can have a dialogue about the challenges facing the VCSE sector and how we can work together to meet the needs of our communities.
The Volunteer Coordinator’s Forum brings together volunteer managers, co-ordinators and other representatives from charities and organisations who wish to establish or develop their volunteer offer. This Forum will provide the opportunity for discussion, joint working and also the development of clear action plans to help make the vision of the Volunteering Strategy a reality. Task and finish groups are established as required, to work on specific projects and areas of the Strategy and work towards tangible outcomes and results to benefit the Borough.
