Somerset VCFSE Collaborative

Amplifying the voice and impact of Somerset’s voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector.

About the Somerset VCFSE Collaborative

The Collaborative brings together Somerset’s VCFSE leaders to strengthen the sector’s voice in shaping local health, care, and community priorities.

Led by an independent chair and facilitated by Spark Somerset, we connect organisations, expand representation, and help ensure every group, large or small, can influence decisions that affect their communities.

Representation

We’re committed to ensuring strong VCFSE representation on key boards, ensuring the sector’s voice is heard in strategic decision-making.

We welcome new representatives and offer support and funding to help smaller or emerging organisations take part, ensuring all voices have the chance to contribute.

“Some really great themes and shared issues and a healthy appetite to be a part of something that could make a difference.”
