Banes 3rd Sector Group (3sg)

3sg is a grassroots membership organisation that was set up in 2016 by members of the third sector in bath & north east somerset. we recognise the vital role that local charities, community groups, the faith sector and social enterprises play in our community and our aim is to raise their profile and give them a chance to influence local decision making. we are also collaborating with organisations in banes to grow a compassionate community movement, which has taken been central in the response effort to the covid-19 pandemic. our long-term ambition is to nurture a grassroots social movement which recognises there are people and organisations supporting each other, who care, are available and can step in as and when needed, with actual or virtual support. we will do this by working together and sharing a common brand that can amplify the existing skills and resources of the council, education providers, healthcare, 3rd sector, faith community, businesses, residents and volunteers.
