Charity leadership

South-East Essex Charity CEO Forum

The South-East Essex Charity CEO Forum brings together Chief Executives and senior leaders from voluntary and community organisations across Castle Point, Rochford and the wider South-East Essex area.

This quarterly forum provides a collaborative, supportive space where leaders can share best practice, learn from peers and strengthen the collective voice of the local voluntary sector.

What the Forum offers

  • Peer learning - a confidential environment to discuss challenges, solutions and leadership experiences
  • Sector voice - a unified platform to engage with local authorities, statutory partners and policymakers
  • Collaboration - opportunities for joint projects, shared training and partnership funding bids
  • Stronger connections - reducing isolation and building meaningful relationships across the sector

Upcoming meetings
