We are the largest independent voice for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations (VCSE) in Staffordshire. We provide free, vital advice and support on volunteering, funding, training, and governance to over 1,200 VCSE members.
A strong and resilient VCSE sector creates a strong and resilient community. Our support enables this, creating a stronger Staffordshire.
We develop close associations with key people and organisations within Staffordshire, to develop and promote projects in key areas for the benefit of the community. We do this in the following ways:
Volunteering for all
Supporting community and organisation development
Connecting, convening and collaborating
Support Staffordshire has recognised three critical and cross-cutting priorities in recent years. All three came about in part as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns. They are Climate Emergency, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion, and Staff Health & Wellbeing. These priorities are now fully integrated into our strategic and business plans, and each is supported by a cross-organisation working group.
Taking positive action on all three in a coordinated and planned way will help us to be a happy and effective place to work or volunteer, as well as to further our charitable aims and objectives. In the coming years we will also share more of our learning on these subjects with our members and partners. To find out more about our work please get in touch.
