Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester
Voluntary Action Arun & Chichester
Our vision is to see a strong, vibrant voluntary and community sector that supports, inspires and empowers individuals and communities throughout Arun and Chichester.
We do this through 1-1 support and advice, training and networking events, helping groups to start-up and develop their work.
Are you passionate about helping Arun and Chichester community groups, charities and social enterprise companies to be strong and resilient?
Could you provide leadership to a small team that gives information, advice, training, and support to local VCSE organisations?
If you have experience of developing and delivering activities in a community setting, or knowledge of what it takes to run a voluntary organisation, community group or social enterprise (VCSE), this could be the role for you.

“The VCSE is ‘here to give hope’. We are part of the solution to recover and rebuild, addressing the inequalities that exist within our communities. We do not know when it is going to end but the sector will keep going. A reality check is important. Everybody needs to provide encouragement, support and communication, working as collective organisations.”
Our recent report shows that infrastructure organisations have a key role to play in helping the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise sector (VCSE) survive the Covid-19 pandemic, and grow to meet the increasing needs within our communities. The report looks at the current state of the VCSE sector in Arun and Chichester, illustrates the key areas of support that the sector needs going forward and outlines how VAAC (Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester) can deliver this support and enable the sector to rebuild.
