The VCS Assembly will work towards meeting its aims through co-operative and inclusive partnerships. It will aim to minimise duplication, to promote unity and to encourage and facilitate co-operation between voluntary and community organisations. 3. The VCS Assembly will operate on the basis of mutual respect and demand that respect in return for its membership; members are expected to be open and honest. 4. The VCS Assembly will undertake creative positive action to mitigate against adverse impact on the most vulnerable in our communities and encourage the involvement of groups within the VCS who tend to be marginalised or excluded. The VCSA is represented on a large number of partnership groups. VCSE sector representatives work closely alongside long partner bodies to influence change and deliver cross sector projects and initiatives. The next page includes a list of groups where the voluntary sector is represented
