We support members across the South West of England, and have groups in Bristol, Dorset and Plymouth.
Our aim is to support institute members and students across our region and to provide a link between CIPFA's national and local activities. We provide an exciting range of high impact, low-cost (usually free) events across the region. These events address a variety of current topics that help members and students to develop themselves both professionally and personally.
We hope to develop our activities further in the coming year, and we'll keep you up-to-date with these developments as we roll them out. Given the vast size of our region, we are particularly concentrating on collaborating and working together with likeminded groups and organisations to work with, to help find locally sourced CPD and networking opportunities.
If there is anything you think we could do to help you benefit further from your membership of the Institute, then please don't hesitate to let us know by emailing cipfasw@cipfa.org.
A reminder for anyone who may need support CIPFA's mental health and wellbeing hub is available to you and anyone in your personal or workplace networks. The hub brings together information and support on a wide range of topics. Access is free of charge, anonymous and there's no need to register.
