Birmingham’s vibrant voluntary sector is the backbone of our city. A network of thousands of organisations dedicated to building a fairer, healthier, and more inclusive society. At BVSC, we support, represent, and champion these groups, ensuring their local expertise leads the way in creating meaningful Social Value. By placing community impact at the heart of city-wide change, we ensure that every investment made in Birmingham delivers a lasting legacy for its people.
