Welcome to Warwickshire & Solihull Community and Voluntary Action
We are the local VCS Infrastructure Organisation for Warwickshire & Solihull, providing vital support to the volunteers, groups, organisations, enterprises and charities who are working to strengthen all of our communities across the region. We are committed to providing all of our services locally and accessibly. Whether you need support accessing volunteering opportunities (not currently available in Solihull), developing a community group, accessing funding or strengthening your governance, we have a local office and dedicated team near you.
We hope this site has what you are looking for. If it doesn't, please let us know using the details in the 'Contact Us' tab on the main menu (above).
