The Policy and Lobbying Forum aims to bring together activists and lobbyists in the voluntary and community sector who have an interest in the work of the Northern Ireland Assembly. It is a place to share good practice, tips and inside information and to learn from each other.

Previously, these have included: Mervyn Storey MLA, who spoke about influencing the DUP party group; Dr Brian Crowe, Head of Policy at UUP, who spoke on influencing UUP party policy and; Michael McKernan, Special Advisor to DSD Minister Margaret Ritchie.
