A message from the CEO – 21st Nov 2025
In her 21 November message, CEO Sharon Nanan‑Sen reflects on the pressure facing the voluntary and community sector — with funding competition rising and many organisations needing to rethink income streams — and underscores that the city’s VCSE ecosystem remains resilient, with nearly 60 new groups supported this quarter, a high proportion led by people from BAME backgrounds. She emphasises how vital partnerships, infrastructure support (like bid-writing workshops) and the work of the Wolverhampton Voluntary & Community Action volunteer centre remain as charities navigate change together.
