A message from the CEO – 16th October 2026
In her latest update, Sharon reflects on the VCSEF Alliance meeting on 13 October and the importance of a strong, united voice for Wolverhampton’s voluntary and community sector. Discussions highlighted the need for meaningful involvement in decisions affecting local communities, including the opportunity to review the Council’s final VCS Strategy before Cabinet approval. Sharon raises concerns about shrinking funding, rising costs and statutory bodies bringing services in-house, calling for fair funding and recognition of the sector’s vital role in health and community support. She also shares thanks from local groups helped by WVCA to secure funding – a reminder of the difference the sector makes to people’s lives.
