Bedford Charities Forum

Bedford Charities Forum is a new collaboration which brings together charities and agencies of all shapes and sizes from Bedford Borough to:

• share positive stories and news

• create an environment to share good practice and

• generate opportunities for partnership working.

These charities make the borough a more supportive place to live by providing support around food poverty, housing and debt advice, disability, the elderly, medical needs, mental health support, family, children and young people services.

The forum meets quarterly and is hosted by Tom Harwood, Head of Foundation at Blues Foundation. Bedford Charities Forum founding members include:

• Bedford Giving

• Bedford Foodbank

• Bedford Blues Foundation

• Bedfordshire Open Door

• CVS

• Link 2 Change

• Fun4YoungPeople

• FACES
