A message from the CEO – 11th September 2026
Despite the continuing pressures facing the VCSEF sector, demand for community action and support remains strong. WVCA has seen growing interest from people looking to set up groups, access funding and seek advice, even as organisations face rising costs, falling donations, increased competition for grants and challenges around governance, recruitment and capacity.
There are also opportunities ahead. The Government’s move towards more preventative, community-based healthcare – including the new Neighbourhood Health Framework – could create an increasingly important role for voluntary and community organisations in supporting people closer to home, reducing health inequalities and strengthening communities.
Sharon also highlights some important dates for the diary, including WVCA’s celebration of 20 years of SUIT and 10 years of Social Prescribing on Friday 20 November, alongside the next VCSEF Alliance Meeting on 13 October and Social Investment Webinar on 24 September.
