The Stronger Suffolk VCFSE Support Programme has been developed in direct response to the challenges highlighted in the State of the Sector report. These include financial pressures, rising demand, workforce and volunteer shortages, and the need for stronger leadership, governance, and organisational resilience.
It brings together free coordinated support to strengthen the resilience, leadership, and long-term sustainability of Suffolk’s VCFSE sector.
Co-ordinated by Suffolk Community Foundation and delivered in partnership with the Suffolk Funders Network, Community Action Suffolk (CAS) and Cranfield Trust, the programme provides a pathway of funded support based on organisational need.
