Leicester City based groups

VCSE Manifesto
The work charities do is life-changing and can have a profound impact on some of the most vulnerable people in society.
In early 2019, VAL began working on a manifesto for the VCSE sector. Initially, talking with a small number of stakeholders a draft was agreed. VAL’s request is for senior leaders within your organisations to endorse this manifesto. This is an opportunity to introduce the manifesto to a range of local funders, particularly those in the statutory sector.
