2026 marks two very special milestones for Wolverhampton Voluntary & Community Action (WVCA): 20 years of SUIT and 10 years of our Social Prescribing Service.
We’d love you to join us for a special celebration bringing together the people who have helped shape, support and benefit from these two important services over the years.
WVCA is recruiting a Community Partnerships, Projects and Operations Coordinator to develop partnerships and projects and support Wolverhampton’s voluntary, community, social enterprise and faith (VCSEF) sector.
In her latest update, Sharon reflects on the VCSEF Alliance meeting on 13 October and the importance of a strong, united voice for Wolverhampton’s voluntary and community sector. Discussions highlighted the need for meaningful involvement in decisions affecting local communities, including the opportunity to review the Council’s final VCS Strategy before Cabinet approval. Sharon raises concerns about shrinking funding, rising costs and statutory bodies bringing services in-house, calling for fair funding and recognition of the sector’s vital role in health and community support. She also shares thanks from local groups helped by WVCA to secure funding – a reminder of the difference the sector makes to people’s lives.
The government has launched a consultation on proposals to strengthen the Charity Commission’s powers to disqualify trustees and senior charity managers.
Black Country Women’s Aid is looking for an Intensive Supervision Court Women’s Specialist to provide practical and emotional support to women involved in the criminal justice system.
