About the organization
Mission : We work for a strong patient and citizen voice and services built around people. We stand up for voluntary organisations and their vital work for people’s health and care.
We have more than 140 charity members and 20 professional and associate members. Our membership covers a diverse range of conditions and communities and connects with the experiences of millions of people.
Vision : We seek to strengthen the voice of the sector in policy and practice, and to raise the status of the VCS as a key contributor to health, wellbeing, care and support in a more sustainable system.
We also work to build the knowledge and capacity of our sector to participate in supporting person centred, community based care.
