By embracing diversity and valuing every voice, we strive to create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. These values form the foundation of our mission to uplift and support the voluntary and community sector across Sheffield, ensuring lasting impact for all.
Equity and Social Justice
We are committed to embracing diversity and rejecting all forms of discrimination. Every voice matters, and we deeply value the unique perspectives and contributions within our communities.
By prioritising those whose voices have gone unheard, we work in partnership to create solutions that genuinely address the needs and aspirations of everyone.
Trust and Mutual Respect
We are committed to fostering trust and mutual respect, understanding the importance of empowering individuals to take control of their lives and decisions. By creating an environment where everyone feels heard and valued, we work together to support people in shaping their futures.
In this community, agency thrives, and every voice plays a part in driving meaningful change.
Partnership
We believe that our vision and mission can only be achieved through genuine collaboration.
By fostering trust, actively listening, and showing respect for one another, we create strong partnerships that drive meaningful change. We can harness our collective strengths to build a brighter future for our communities.
The power within people, communities, and the VCS
At VAS, we recognise the incredible power that resides within individuals, communities, and the VCS. We stand in solidarity with those experiencing poverty and injustice, understanding that real change comes from within.
By valuing the expertise and assets present in our communities, we work to uplift and empower those whose voices have often gone unheard.
