We support community organisations and their communities, helping them to grow, develop and thrive.

After winning two awards at the BBC Make a Difference Awards 2025 we are actively fundraising for Northampton Volunteer Car Scheme.

We provide our support through three main strands:

Group support – providing training, advice and resources for local voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector organisations

Community projects – supporting local communities through direct delivery projects, focusing on health inequalities and helping communities to thrive

Volunteering – promoting volunteering in all its forms and helping local VCFSE to find and involve volunteers.

Each element aligns to our values of:

Being strategic and supportive

Making things happen

Leading in our field

Placing people at our heart

Our ethos is built on transparency, honesty and integrity.
