Southampton Voluntary Services is working alongside other local Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise organisations to shine a light on the fantastic community activity in Southampton, which is improving lives and livelihoods across the city. We have set up an exhibition of community activity in our largest meeting room, at our Voluntary Action Centre in St Mary’s.
We are also working to develop a Southampton health and care alliance, which will be a network of organisations, that collaborate to have a strong voice within the local Integrated Care System. We want to make sure that community sector voices are central within decisions around health and care strategy, services and spending in the city.
We held an event on 6 December, where different community organisations dropped in to see us. We spent time chatting together about what matters to people in the local VCSE sector. We have been capturing people’s views in the form of an interactive exhibition.

We are also opening the exhibition in January 2024 so there are more chances for you to pop by and share your views. One of the team at SVS will be available to show you around and chat with you, so come and see us! These are dates and times:
