Locality hubs provide vital access and funding for voluntary and community sector

Walsall Council is encouraging community groups and not-for-profit organisations to get involved with its successful resilient communities voluntary and community sector (VCS) locality leads programme.

“ The voluntary and community sector plays a vital role in the heart of our communities. The work of the locality hubs provides local groups and residents with the support they need to thrive and contributes towards a more economically vibrant community.

“This is a fantastic example of how the council is working collaboratively and locally to empower these organisations to continue their invaluable work and make a real difference to the lives of Walsall residents.

By providing support to the different localities in the borough, which is tailored to the needs of each community, we are ensuring that the voices of voluntary and community organisation and small businesses are heard. “

“ I am delighted to see the success of the resilient communities voluntary and community sector model in Walsall and the hard work of the locality leads.

This partnership is a key example of bringing communities together to learn areas of improvement and provide access to valuable support to make a real difference in our communities.

I encourage all eligible organisations and residents to get involved in this programme and take advantage of the resources available to them. Together, we can build a stronger and more resourceful community for everyone. “
