VSNW is a membership organisation that connects to the region’s voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector through infrastructure organisations, equalities networks and large regional and national providers.

Through local infrastructure organisations and equalities networks we look to support grassroots community organisations that constitute the vast majority of the 30,000 plus groups working in the North West.

Core to our work are our partners and members. We have a membership of over 130 full members and 60 associates who support and engage with VSNW and our mission.

We facilitate key partnerships working in the subregions wherever and whenever we can. This includes VS6 operating across Liverpool City Region, the emerging Cheshire and Merseyside VCFSE health and wellbeing Leadership group and the Greater Manchester VCSE Leadership Group.

Our Mission

To work together to enable the VCFSE sector to positively shape the future of the North West.

OUR VISION

Through the strengths of the VCFSE sector, put communities in charge of driving change.
