Partners

The Empowering Communities partners are passionate about supporting and enabling the VCSE sector to thrive. Collectively we bring together a broad range of expertise and experience of working with VCSE groups and communities. We are committed as partners to working to our strengths and seek to work collaboratively both as a partnership and with the VCSE sector, communities and statutory partners. We recognise that the EC programme will need to develop over time as it responds to changing VCSE needs and new opportunities, and will seek to bring in new partners where needed.
