What is the VSI Alliance?

Supporting the Calderdale voluntary, community and social enterprise sector

The VSI Alliance is here to support the Calderdale voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE), big or small, new or established. 

We are here to support your organisation with all the formalities of running an organisation.  We are here to reassure and answer those niggling questions that pop into your head. 

We are a local partnership between six organisations all committed to ensuring the Calderdale VCSE sector is represented, supported and celebrated.  

Throughout your organisation’s journey, whether a brand new set-up or firmly established in the local community, the VSI Alliance can offer you support, resources and guidance every step of the way.  Nearly all of our services* are free to use and you will have access to the VSI Alliance team who are all experts in different areas of running and growing a VCSE organisation.

*There may be a small cost applied to some of our training courses and events.

Strengthening the Calderdale VCSE sector

Here in Calderdale, the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE) is an integral part of the local landscape and its hard work and dedication definitely doesn’t go unnoticed.  This is why the VSI Alliance was first set up.  The Voluntary Sector Infrastructure Alliance – or VSI Alliance for short – was set up to support and strengthen the Calderdale VCSE sector. 

With four voluntary & community sector support organisations and two public sector bodies working together, The VSI Alliance delivers a robust and knowledgeable service to its organisations.
