The VCSEF Leaders Network was created in 2015 to provide leaders of Medway's VCEF - large and small - with a stronger voice.

The VCSEF Leaders Network is led by a Steering Group made up of representative leaders from across the sector, members of the Steering Group, under Generous Leadership they give their time to deliver action points on behalf of the wider network.

The VCSEF Leaders Network host events, which were cancelled during the Covid pandemic and will be coming back in 2024.

The group is facilitated by MVA, as part of the Project Medway initiative, and MVA host this digital platform to support the goals of the whole network.
