A message from the CEO – 9th January 2026

A message from the CEO – 9th January 2026

As we move into 2026, Sharon reflects on the growing pressures facing the VCSEF sector, from rising costs and reduced funding to fewer volunteers and increasing demand for services. Nationally, many charities are scaling back, and locally in Wolverhampton long-established groups are feeling the strain, raising important questions about how small grassroots organisations can be supported now and in the future. Sharon highlights the vital preventative role the sector plays across health and social care and makes a clear call for action to match the rhetoric around civil society. She also invites colleagues to continue the conversation at the next VCSEF Alliance Meeting.
