Community groups and charities across Wolverhampton have been invited to take part in a new series of networking and support events throughout 2026. Organised by Wolverhampton Voluntary & Community Action, the programme is designed to help local organisations connect, share resources, and learn about new funding opportunities.
The VCS Support Team has created a busy calendar for the year, which includes a dedicated networking session this month. Other highlights include a focus on funding throughout September and a special event for social enterprises on 19 November 2026. These gatherings build on the organisation’s mission to support local groups, which saw £294,000 distributed to community projects during a previous funding period.
In addition to these specific events, the organisation facilitates the VCSEF Alliance. This open forum meets on a quarterly basis, allowing voluntary groups, charities, and faith organisations in the city to meet in person or online. Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Sharon Nanan-Sen, who has been in the role since August 2023, the organisation continues to act as the primary infrastructure support for the city’s voluntary sector.
Local groups interested in participating or learning more about how to access these resources are encouraged to keep an eye on the official event listings. These events serve as a central hub for those working to make a positive difference within the Wolverhampton community.
