VCSE Voices is a new network for voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations across North Yorkshire.  

Whether you lead an organisation, support communities or volunteer, this is your space to share local, regional and national insights, gain fresh ideas through peer-led learning, influence priorities and build capacity to strengthen the sector.

What to expect

Each session offers a friendly, inclusive space to: 

  • explore emerging issues and opportunities across North Yorkshire 
  • share successes, challenges and lessons learned 
  • join themed discussions on subjects such as health and wellbeing, inclusion, rural issues, community wealth building 
  • influence and co-design local responses 
  • forge new relationships and deepen collaboration. 

Who should join?

Whether you’re a small grassroots group, a larger community organisation, or an individual passionate about making a difference, VCSE Voices is your forum. Bring your ideas, outline your challenges and be part of a growing movement shaping positive change in North Yorkshire. 

Upcoming meetings

We’re planning a series of events both online and in-person to tackle the priorities and interests of the sector. Book onto our next session at Tadcaster on 16 July.
