Our Mission

Warrington Voluntary Action supports the development of a vibrant, thriving and sustainable VCFSE (voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector) to meet the diverse needs of local communities.

To do this we:

• Provide information, guidance and resources enabling local voluntary, community and faith organisations to deliver effective quality services.
• Promote, support and develop social action and volunteering for individuals and local communities to make a positive experience.
• Initiate and nurture the development of new groups, schemes, enterprises or activities to meet identified needs.
• Support local networks and forums to facilitate and encourage effective partnerships and strengthen cross sector working.
• Enable effective representation and involvement on key strategic partnership bodies to ensure VCFSE organisations have a strong voice.

The Values we believe in are:

• Being Passionate - Utilising energies purposefully and committing to the development and enrichment of others.

• Thinking Creatively - Seeking to get the best from available resources and unlocking potential by thinking differently.

• Working Collaboratively - Developing effective relationships that aim to benefit all partners as well as the wider community.

We are fortunate to have a broad mix of backgrounds, experience, history, views and ideas within our team and we believe that richness and diversity is a real strength. Through creativity and tenacity, we work within varying levels of the community and decision making.

We have listed our team (loosely categorised) below. Please bear with us whilst we try and find an easy and accessible way to put team portraits on our site.

Doing Our bit

As a team we are committed to making changes in our everyday office practices that can go towards making changes to our environment. We know we still have some way to go but there are changes we have made and behaviours we try to do on a daily basis to co

• We have gone as paper-free as we can, favouring electronic documents over treeware.
• We recycle our WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
• We ensure our electrical equipment is as energy efficient as it can be and switch it off when not in use.
• We recycle our office waste including our teabags.
• We minimise the use of lights in the office.
• We walk to meetings where the walk takes 30 minutes or less.
