Purpose

In April 2024 Camden Council launched its £4 million per
year Voluntary & Community Sector (VCS) Investment Programme

This programme aims to support a thriving, responsive and
diverse VCS, in recognition of the critical role that the sector
plays in supporting residents and communities by prioritising
prevention, building community strength and tackling
inequality.
 
The VCS Resilience Fund is one programme within the VCS
Investment Programme that aims to support Camden’s VCS to be
sustainable and resilient.
 
The VCS Resilience Fund 2024 was launched in May 2024. This
