The Friends of the Elderly Grants Programme provides small grants of up to £600 to help older people living on low incomes across England and Wales. The scheme supports individuals or couples who are of or over state pension age, have savings of less than £5,000, and do not meet the criteria for other funders.
We’re inviting colleagues from across Wolverhampton’s voluntary, community, social enterprise and faith sectors to join the next VCSEF Alliance Meeting.
In today’s CEO Message, Sharon reflects on WVCA’s commitment to helping organisations grow and thrive — supporting them to move to the next level of development, sustainability and impact. With funding remaining a key priority, she also shares feedback from this summer’s Bid Writing Workshops, designed to help beginners navigate the world of grant funding.
WVCA continues to provide vital support for Wolverhampton’s voluntary sector. Between April 2024 and March 2025, we spent 321 hours delivering 263 one-to-one interactions with groups.
