Collaborative Communities
Securing a sustainable future for Third Sector Organisations & Social Enterprises
Our region has a flourishing Third Sector which contributes to our vibrant communities. We aim to secure its future through an exciting new programme of support to create sustainable organisations.
Swansea Council for Voluntary Service has joined together with the City and County of Swansea, the County Councils and the County Voluntary Councils in Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot and Pembrokeshire to form a unique partnership to combine resources for the success of the project. The partnership draws together expertise and experience to share best practice across the region. This project has been part-funded by the EU's Convergence European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Assembly Government.

Enterprising Communities
The Enterprising Communities Project is funded by the Welsh Government and European Structural Funds (European Regional Development Fund), managed by Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) and delivered locally by Wales' network of County Voluntary Councils.
Enterprising Communities provides practical support at a local level to support Third Sector organisations to move towards becoming more financially sustainable, equipping them to operate in a more businesslike manner and generate more income for themselves including through bidding for and providing public services.
