Eco Village

Thanks so much for all of your prompts – you were hugely motivating for me and the reason that I applied, so thank you. From the help we received and the bid we submitted, we;ve been awarded almost £20k to cover rent – what a huge relief! We would recommend VAL to anyone looking for help for funding.

BWB Collective

Attending the Meet the Funders event at VAL, alongside the one-to-one support we received, was instrumental in strengthening our funding applications. As a result, we submitted four bids worth a combined £45,000, an important step forward in exoanding our impact in the community.

Stoney Stanton Flood Action Group

Since my first meeting, we have always been impressed by VAL’s
professionalism and customer service. The team are so friendly and easy to work with but also highly skilled and will always go above and beyond to help even in the most challenging circumstances.

National Youth Agency (NYA)

Choosing to rent an office at VAL has been an excellent decision. The convenient location, welcoming reception team, and access to well-equipped meeting spaces and extra storage provide the flexibility and support we need. I highly recommend VAL for anyone seeking a professional and supportive office environment.
