The directory covers national, regional, sub-regional and some local VCS infrastructure organisations across England. It tells you how to contact them, their aims, main areas of work around learning, key funding sources and relevant local contacts, and details of specialist learning and skills posts.
Information is divided into two sections: National and the Regions.
Access to sub-regional (or district/county) and local details is through the appropriate region. Details of organisations and networks that cover more than one sub-region are listed in each one.
All the information is available in high visibility view and is printer friendly. Click Help for information on access and technical support.
To help keep the directory up-to-date, corrections and new information can be added at any time. Click Add/Edit Entry. All entries are currently being reviewed and updated as part of an annual review.
VCS infrastructure organisations have a number of important roles: providing a voice for the sector; supporting development, capacity building and practice; offering advice; bridging between the VCS and other bodies; supporting networking; and helping organisations to work together. These roles are increasingly important for VCS learning and training and are undertaken by both generic infrastructure organisations and a growing number of specialist bodies.
