Forum Monthly Meetings

The South Forum holds regular monthly meetings where everyone is welcome to attend. There are presentations from local groups and service providers and the meetings give the opportunity for those attending to discuss local issues, promote their group or service and get involved in developments in the South Area of Sunderland.

Our monthly meetings are well attended with representatives from a wide range of voluntary, community and statutory organisations.
