A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the VONNE Conference and AGM! A special thank you to North East Mayor Kim McGuinness for opening the conference with the announcement of the new Opportunity Fund which is now open for *applications. The event was a platform for crucial discussions on topics that matter deeply to our communities and sector: fostering cohesion, understanding the root causes of the riots, untangling hate from politics, and addressing pressing issues like poverty, life chances, and the lack of opportunity. Conversations were thought-provoking and inspiring, and we're excited to keep the momentum going. Stay tuned for delegate packs and the latest updates in VONNE News! *Applications close Friday 17 January 2025 #VONNE2024
