VCS Forum

A united voice for Harrow’s Voluntary & Community (VCS) Sector.

What is the Harrow VCS Forum?

The Harrow Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Forum brings together local charities, community groups, and nonprofit organisations to work together on the issues that impact the communities we work with most.

Why Join the VCS Forum?

VCS organisations play a vital role in local communities – providing services, generating impact, and empowering people.

We believe it’s essential for VCS organisations in Harrow to have a voice in local changes. That’s why we work to strengthen partnerships and build more inclusive, resilient communities.

"It's important that the voluntary sector stays autonomous - not led by the priorities of others in the area, but by our own voice."

Who are we?

Voluntary Action Harrow provides administrative support and co-ordination for the Harrow Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) Forum. However, the Forum is independent and self-governing, with its direction, priorities, and activities determined by its participants. This ensures it remains a representative and inclusive platform, driven by the needs and voices of Harrow’s VCS.
