Voluntary and Community Sector

The Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) includes organizations that are not driven by profit but aim to serve the public good, such as charities, community groups, and social enterprises. These organizations address social, environmental, and cultural needs, often relying on volunteers and donations. They complement government services by providing support, advocacy, and initiatives that improve community well-being. The VCS plays a vital role in fostering social cohesion, enabling community participation, and tackling issues that may not be fully addressed by the private or public sectors.
