- Identify and progress opportunities for joint working and funding arrangements
- Share information on organisational, other professional issues and grant and decision making structures
- Maintain a particular focus on the sharing of information and joint working opportunities that support the delivery of initiatives and funding for under-represented communities and groups based on need in the South West
- Inform and develop the work of the Forum through sharing best practice
- Establish links with regional organisations and other groups who have an interest in the work of the Forum.
