a particular theme aimed at supporting Dorset’s voluntary and community
sector. - Facilitate discussion between groups

voluntary and community sector. - To answer as many queries and
concerns as DCA is able and if not to use our network of national, regional and
local professionals, advisors and experts to answer you concerns to the best of
our ability. - To keep a log of the issues and
concerns local voluntary and community groups are facing to feed up to Dorset
Council, local statutory partners and government departments. - To keep and share a record of the

for the benefit of others - Have the information and advice to
