New report provides in depth analysis of the current state of the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector in Somerset.

Voice of the sector

As a vital link between the VCFSE sector and key strategic partners, we’re committed to building stronger, more equitable relationships and advocating on its behalf.

Volunteering and social action

We help people to volunteer – to spark a positive change within themselves, for those they support, and their local communities. We also provide free advice and guidance on how to support, engage and manage volunteers.
