Mission

Ensuring that the voluntary and community sector, in all its diversity, takes its full part in shaping the future of the North West

Knowledge: VSNW will express this value by generating an evidence base for action and demonstrating integrity through informed actions and decisions. VSNW will use its knowledge base to provide leadership, promote the sector and show foresight;

Equality: VSNW will express this value by not working in isolation: valuing what people can do together, whether part of community of interest, identity or place. VSNW recognises that from diversity comes strength and quality knowledge. and we will challenge prejudice and intolerance wherever we encounter it.
