VAS is at the heart of voluntary and community action in Sheffield.
We strive to tackle inequality; increase democratic engagement and influence change to city systems and structures to better meet people’s needs. We are ambitious and optimistic – we love Sheffield and want it to be a great city for all its people and communities. We provide a wide range of support and services to community and voluntary organisations in the city, helping those starting up, as well as established organisations. In addition to support for groups, some of our services are directed at individuals, particularly our support for volunteers and people who use health and social care services in the city.
