Vision, Mission and Strategic Objectives  

Our vision is of a vibrant, effective, sustainable and inclusive Third Sector where all individuals and communities are empowered to play a full part in local voluntary and community action.

Our mission is to provide effective support services to Third Sector organisations; enabling them to develop their capacity to deliver quality services that meet the needs of their communities.

To achieve this mission our strategic objectives are:

• Volunteering - recruit more volunteers, develop more volunteering opportunities and increase the capacity of organisations to support volunteers.
  
• Capacity Building - developing skills, knowledge, structures, funding and other resources.
  
• Voice - support the sector to have a stronger voice.
  
• Partnerships - enable and encourage partnership working.
  
• Community Cohesion - build cohesion by responding to the needs of existing, new and growing communities.
  
• Profile - raise awareness of what the Consortium is and what it does with its stakeholders.
  
• Strategic Approach to Delivery - work strategically and in collaboration with one another and the public sector on policy and services.
