Upcoming Events
“I have made several invaluable connections with people at these events. I have also been overwhelmed with admiration hearing about the work of CICs, and charities that are tirelessly working to uplift people in their communities....Sector 3 combines VCFSE’s with private companies who are seeking to increase their CSR and the formula works in a way that everyone can benefit. No sales pitches, just information and invitations to be involved.”
