About us
We’re Wolverhampton Voluntary & Community Action
We used to be called Wolverhampton Voluntary Sector Council (WVSC).
We make a positive difference for people in Wolverhampton by working together with our vibrant communities to cultivate a thriving and inclusive city.
Our mission is to provide unrivalled, dedicated support services to the voluntary and community sector.
What do we do and how do we do it?
Our diverse team works side-by-side with communities across Wolverhampton, supporting them to thrive and become resilient.
We believe in community action, volunteering and our person-centred approach supports communities to uncover their strengths and abilities, overcome barriers and influence the decision-making processes that matter to them.
We play a leading role in bringing resources to the city that are then shared with voluntary and community organisations to deliver services for the people of Wolverhampton.
Through our work we hope to develop thriving communities and a fairer society.
