Support for your organisation
VCS Support
Discover how to maximise the impact of your charity or non-profit in Wolverhampton by taking advantage of our Voluntary, Community, Social Enterprise and Faith support services.
We can provide advice and guidance on setting up and managing a charity or non-profit, as well as helping you access funding and other resources.
We can also help you find and connect with local volunteers, partners, and supporters. We will work with you to build meaningful and sustainable relationships with local organisations that help you make a real difference in the community and build long-term partnerships.
We are Wolverhampton’s VCSEF sector infrastructure organisation
NAVCA‘s Four Functions of Local Infrastructure help us to describe what we do:
Leadership and advocacy
Local infrastructure organisations are leaders in their communities, strengthening our sector’s voice and influence on key decision-makers and funders. They support and empower vulnerable and marginalised communities, working towards a more equal society.
Partnerships and collaborations
Local infrastructure organisations create opportunities for collaborative working by building networks and partnerships between local organisations and strategic partners. Through nurturing these relationships, communities are better equipped in both the development of ongoing projects and times of crisis.
Capacity building
When local voluntary and community organisations have access to practical support, people and communities become more resilient and able to flourish. Local infrastructure organisations can provide training, resources or advice to facilitate community development.
Volunteering
Volunteering is integral to thriving communities. Local infrastructure organisations encourage and nurture volunteering opportunities, so that people can build connections and work together on things they care about, driving positive change locally.
