Sandwell Council of Voluntary Organisations - SCVO. Supporting the Growth of Community Action in Sandwell.

Overview

Sandwell’s well-established ‘Voluntary and Community Sector’ (VCS) is a vibrant and diverse collection of charitable and not-for-profit businesses, social enterprises, advocacy organisations, community and neighbourhood groups.

These take on many different forms and functions and deliver a wide range of different activities and services to the people of Sandwell. It’s cultural and ethnic diversity reflects well the diversity across the whole of the borough.

Together the many different parts of the VCS make a huge impact in serving people and responding to needs that are often not being met by anyone else in ways which can be highly effective, flexible and innovative. It engages large numbers of volunteers who give their time freely to support others, and makes a significant economic impact as a route of bringing funds into the borough and as an employer of a significant and developing workforce.
