Priority Areas

Voluntary Action Sheffield allocates grants to community organisations through its projects, enabling them to trial new ways of working. It invites organisations to tender for inclusion in a project and may also fund organisations that are better placed to reach particular communities, usually after an open invitation to organisations working with those communities. Its wider purpose is to support people, communities and the voluntary community sector to lead positive change. Its work emphasises inclusive partnerships, leadership and capacity in communities and the voluntary sector, opportunities for people who are most marginalised, and support for the next generation of leaders. The approach is collaborative and focused on developing positive social change.
