A message from the CEO – 28th August 2026
There’s plenty to look forward to at WVCA over the coming months, with opportunities to connect, learn and celebrate the impact of our sector. We’re especially excited to be marking 20 years of SUIT and 10 years of Social Prescribing with a special celebration at the Arena Theatre in November – recognising two services that have made a real difference to people’s lives across Wolverhampton.
Before then, we’ll be bringing the sector together for our VCSEF Alliance Meeting in October, as well as hosting a Social Investment Webinar with Tom Bostock from Big Issue Invest in September. Against a backdrop of continued challenges and change for voluntary organisations, Sharon’s latest CEO Update reflects on why it’s more important than ever to recognise our achievements, strengthen connections and continue working together.
