The posts enable us to engage effectively with the third sector across Cardiff and the Vale, allowing us to understand the landscape of the third sector and also act as central contacts for us to share information or receive feedback. This is key as part of our general engagement as a health board. The posts provide a huge contribution to our commitment to support the third sector, including: * Enabling other Third Sector organisations to grow and develop; * Supporting individual volunteers and collective voluntary action; * Promoting good and safe governance across the Third Sector; * Supporting Public Service design and delivery; * Providing voice and representation of the wider sector; and * Sharing good practice and innovation.
