Partners and Networks

A core priority for Voluntary Action Sheffield is building and nurturing strong, inclusive partnerships that support positive social change.

When people and organisations work together, they can pool resources, skills and insight, develop new ideas, and create more opportunities for people across the city. Collaboration also strengthens the wider voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector.

Partnership working sits at the heart of how we work at Voluntary Action Sheffield. We believe we can achieve more by connecting and supporting each other.

We facilitate a range of networks and shared spaces across the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector and the wider city. These spaces help peers connect, exchange knowledge, and bring partner organisations and city leaders into conversation with the sector.
