Consultations

We want to ensure that the Third Sector in Swansea has the opportunity to share it's views.

Below you will find all current consultations which may be of interest to your group. These may be SCVS consultations, consultations from other Third Sector organisations, or from public bodies such as Welsh Government, ABMU Health Board or Swansea Council.

If you are involved with a consultation, and would like us to spread the word for you, please contact us on [email protected]
