Black Workers' Network (BWN)

BWN is the email network for black workers in local infrastructure organisations (LIOs). It is a forum to:

  • post discussions and debates on current issues affecting black workers
  • share experiences of working in LIOs and to support/help each other
  • engage with other black workers in the network
  • raise issues affecting black workers nationally
  • act as a reference group for NAVCA to take forward issues affecting black workers and LIOs' work with black and minority ethnic organisations
  • do anything else agreed by the members of the network.

The network group also meets once a year at the NAVCA annual conference.

The network is also open to voluntary and community organisations that work with, support and complement the work of LIOs.

You can find out more by going to the common questions and etiquette pages.

To join the network, or for further information, simply send a message to the network administrator at admin.bwn@navca.org.uk . Please include your name, your role and the organisation you are from.
