This week's updates from WCVA

7 January 2019

Hello, and welcome to the new-look WCVA newsletter! Happy new year! We hope you’re all feeling re-energised after the break and ready to tackle any challenges 2019 throws your way. We’ve been working behind the scenes to make sure our communications are as useful to you, our members and subscribers, as possible. So we thought the first step would be to sharpen up the weekly newsletter – streamlining the structure and content so that you’re getting the most relevant third sector news from the week in a format that’s easier to digest. Please have a read and let us know what you think using the feedback buttons at the bottom. In other news, WCVA is looking to hire a new Assessment Manager to take the reins of Active Inclusion’s Grant Assessment team. The manager will be tasked with managing the team while making sure that they’re sticking to European policy requirements and delivering the best possible service for the fund’s beneficiaries. The salary is £30,785 increasing to £32,486 a year and will be based at our Cardiff Bay office. For more info, please visit the recruit3 website. Thanks for reading, we'll see you again next week!
