Third Sector Trends
June 16, 2025RRAVS are proud to announce new and exciting support for the Voluntary and Community Sector. Working with partners to build a sustainable and viable sector.
New support is now available to help you achieve your goals and continue your vital work. Essex County Council and partners have launched ‘Your Essex Community’. It offers support around key areas and includes:
- an e-portal where you can find information and advice
- strategies and tools to help you with getting your communities involved
- peer support networks to promote collaboration and connection between organisations
This new support will ensure there is a consistent offer across the county. It is available to VCS organisations of all sizes and based anywhere in Essex.
More support will be added in the future, including help with maximising resources and funding. The council also wants to hear your feedback so it can make sure the support continues to meet your needs in the future.
You can find out more and access the support here: www.youressexcommunity.org
A video explaining how it works is also available to view here: VCS Support Programme, Your Essex Community – Essex County Council
