Third Sector Question Time
Monday 22 May 2017
2 – 4pm
Rheged, Penrith CA11 ODQ
Refreshments will be available from 2pm; Question Time will start at 2.30pm

Cumbria Third Sector Network is organising a Question Time event to give people from local voluntary organisations and community groups the opportunity to hear what representatives of the main political parties have to say about the issues that matter to them before June’s General Election.
We hope to have representatives from 5 political parties:

Conservatives – Rory Stewart (TBC)
Green – TBC
Labour – TBC
Liberal Democrats – Neil Hughes
UKIP – Kerryanne Wilde

We will update a list of the panel members on our website (https://cumbriacvs.org.uk/giving-you-a-voice/cumbria-third-sector-network/) and on Twitter (@CumbriaTSN)

The event is open anyone interested, but please drop us an email so that we know how many people we’re expecting – info@cumbriacvs.org.uk

There’ll be a limit to the number of questions we can fit in to the time available, so if you know you’d like to ask a question, please could you email it to CarolynO@cumbriacvs.org.uk
We can’t promise there’ll be a chance to ask them all, but we will try to make sure we cover the most popular topics.
