Here are some photos from when C3SC joined the 'More in Common Action: Wales Conference', organised in partnership with The Jo Cox Foundation a few months ago at the Future Inn. As Jo Cox once said, 'We have more in common than that which divides us', it's important for us to be working with groups on collating our resources together to strengthen and develop the sector. Listening to our members remains one of our top priorities in achieving this. Thank you for having us - always a pleasure.
