MVA AGM

MVA AGM 2024

MVA’s 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM), centered around one key theme this year which was ‘The Way Forward’ for Medway through support from the voluntary, community, social enterprise and faith sector.

In an inspiring session, ‘The Way Forward’ event was an overwhelming success, showcasing how critical technology, community engagement, and recognition of local heroes can be when they come together to address critical issues like health inequalities.

The event brought together passionate individuals and organisation's from Medway's Voluntary, Community, Social Enterprise & Faith Sector, all committed to making a difference together, with a special focus on reducing health disparities.
