More than 60 of Wolverhampton’s voluntary and community organisations have come together to set out a shared vision for a fairer and stronger sector.

The priorities include greater collaboration, fairer opportunities and shared leadership – ensuring that voluntary organisations and the communities they support have a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect them.

The voluntary community and faith sector organisations came together to present a collective response to the City of Wolverhampton Council’s Voluntary and Community Sector Strategy.

By working together, we can build a more inclusive, representative and effective voluntary sector for Wolverhampton.

By working together and recognising the knowledge, experience and contribution of organisations across the city, we can build a voluntary sector that is more inclusive, representative and equipped to serve Wolverhampton’s communities.

Remembering the past. Standing together for the future.

We were honoured to join Interfaith Wolverhampton at the Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration held at the Civic Centre and to deliver a reading as part of the event.

Holocaust Memorial Day is an important opportunity to remember those who suffered, reflect on the impact of hatred and prejudice, and reaffirm our shared commitment to promoting understanding, inclusion, and respect within our communities.

Thank you to everyone involved in organising such a thoughtful and respectful commemoration.

Bringing communities together through conversation ✨

We recently attended the Interfaith Wolverhampton Get Together and took part in a positive and thought-provoking discussion with MP Warinder Juss.

The conversation highlighted the importance of unity, resilience, empathy, and collaborative working in helping to build stronger and more connected communities. It also reinforced the value of listening to community voices and creating opportunities for people from different backgrounds and faiths to come together, share perspectives, and strengthen understanding.

Thank you to everyone involved for supporting meaningful conversations that promote cooperation, inclusion, and positive community engagement.
