- Valuing VCSE organisations as equal partners
- Ensuring insights collected lead to impact and action
- Investing in the long-term capacity and agency of VCSE organisations

- Lead the delivery of the Public Engagement Network contract from inception through to delivery, learning and evaluation, including co-ordinating an integrated management team including representatives of our two partner organisations.
- Build, manage and sustain the Public Engagement Network, creating a range of opportunities for members to participate, and ensuring relationships are meaningful, inclusive and mutually beneficial.
- Ensure high-quality insight is captured from the network, analysed and translated into learning, improvement and influence.
