Voice4Change England

Who we are

Voice4Change England (V4CE) is a membership organisation with a vision to build a stronger and more inclusive civil society to meet the needs of Black and Minoritised and other disadvantaged communities. This is done by giving out grants, providing infrastructure support for the voluntary and community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, campaigning on topical issues and policy, collaborating in ground breaking research and catalysing opportunities for Black and Minoritised communities through social investment.

Our culture and values

Started when Voice4Change England first developed out of a national summit held in October 2005. The event brought together over 40 Black and Minoritised organisations to discuss how the sector’s interests could best be represented within national policy-making and programme development. Over 15 years on, the need for V4CE is as strong as it ever was. 

Today, as the UK's leading national membership organisation dedicated to the Black and Minoritised VCS, we continue to actively speak up to policymakers on the issues that matter to the sector, bring the sector together to share good practices and develop the sector to better meet the needs of communities.

Our recent campaigns have included supporting: the Home Office with administering the £500K Windrush Community Fund; awareness of the impacts of voter ID legislation; Covid-19 vaccine uptake and related mental health initiatives in the Black and Minoritised community; and Lambeth Council with giving redress to victims of prolonged, historic child abuse.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

We value diversity and inclusion in our workplace and believe that a diverse workforce brings a wide range of perspectives, ideas, and experiences, which ultimately contributes to the success of our organisation. By embracing diversity and providing equal opportunities, we believe that we can build a stronger, more innovative, and more successful team. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and are committed to maintaining an inclusive workplace for all.
