Voluntary and Community Sector Information Update

Last updated: 03 August 2010 16:58

Here you will find the Voluntary and Community Sector Information Update for those working in and with the voluntary and community sector in Portsmouth.

The city has a strong history of working in partnership with over 500 organisations in the voluntary and community sector. Portsmouth has been given national recognition as a government 'pathfinder' for voluntary sector public service delivery.

The voluntary and community sector provide invaluable links to local people and communities and are well placed to influence decisions and services through their understanding of local issues and commitment to strong values.

The update regularly includes information on these issues, local and national policies affecting the sector, opportunities for local people to have their say and news from the city council and its Voluntary Sector Unit (VSU).
