Our members work together to make lasting, positive change within local communities.

Why join us?

Our membership programme is optional, and you do not have to become a member to access our fully funded services.

1. Championing the VCSE sector as a tool for positive social change;

3. Amplifying the voice of VCSE organisations and local people and communities; and
