VCSE sector support
Social Value World delivers sector support for VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) organisations, helping groups strengthen internal capability, become bid-ready and secure funding for the vital work they deliver in their communities. This work is commissioned by funders and institutions who enable us to provide strategic support, advice and guidance directly to community organisations at no cost to them
Our sector support work is currently funded by Impact on Urban Health, building on earlier support from Lambeth Council, enabling us to work closely with organisations across South London to strengthen the voluntary and community sector.
