Welcome to Walsall Voluntary Action

Walsall Voluntary Action is the umbrella body for the Voluntary and Community sector in Walsall often referred to as a Local Infrastructure Organisation. We work with local community groups and voluntary organisations which provide services, regenerate neighbourhoods, increase volunteering and tackle discrimination in partnership with local public bodies.

WVA supports the growth and development of the sector, we offer information, guidance and practical support. For more information about WVA go to the about us and services pages.

If you are a voluntary or community group that works in Walsall and are not already a member we strongly recommend that you become one. Membership is Free and provides you with access to a wide range of opportunities and services.
