Introducing… the new VAC Membership Offer!

Over the past year, we have had time to reflect on and review our membership offer.  With the help of members and non-members alike, we have developed an offer that is needs-led, will continually grow with new opportunities and is complementary to the offers of local infrastructure support services.

A big change is the introduction of a free membership tier alongside the enhanced paid membership tier.  After reviewing the previous offer, it was important to ensure VAC membership was accessible to all sizes of Voluntary, Community & Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sector organisations and so the decision was made to remove this potential barrier for those considering signing up as a VAC Member. 

VAC Membership is, first and foremost, a place to champion and nurture a connected, engaged VAC membership with a focus on strong peer-to-peer networks, building resilience and facilitating opportunities for our members to grow and thrive.

The new offers – both free and paid – are below and we do hope you would consider becoming VAC members to help strengthen our sector’s collective and unified voice to represent the hard work and impact of the wonderfully diverse local VCSE Sector.

VAC Membership

What's included?

You will receive a VAC Member welcome pack with useful information on getting the most out of your membership and a few extra treats!

Every member of VAC will be invited to our Annual General Meeting (AGM) and has voting rights for resolutions and proposals either in person or by proxy.

When you sign up to be a VAC Member, you will be assigned a Go-To Contact from the VAC team.

They will be your main point of contact for your membership, helping to answer questions and signposting you to the right place within VAC and/or our partnerships.

We want the VAC membership offer to be responsive to the needs of our members.  Member check ins keep us up to date on your organisation’s news and developments but also on any challenges or support gaps that may be affecting the VCSE sector. 

The information we receive during our member check ins will highlight trends and challenges that we can then explore support and solutions for via our membership offer and partnerships with local providers and authorities.

To support VAC members to feel connected and informed, we have created a unique Member Area on the VAC Website.

The online dashboard will keep you and your colleagues up to date on the latest member opportunities, training and news.

The Member Area also has a forum function, allowing VAC Member organisations to interact and support each other.

A quarterly newsletter to keep our members up to date on not only VAC Membership updates and opportunities but also specifically created content on topics of interest to the local voluntary, community and social enterprise sector. 

The Bimonthly Member Network is for VAC Members to connect with other VAC Members!

A perfect opportunity to support one another, find out about other local services and explore new collaborative opportunities and partnerships with fellow VAC members.

20% Discount on VAC Room Hire – We offer a range of flexible rooms for hire located in Halifax, West Yorkshire. Our rooms include a fully equipped, large training room with SMART board and flipchart facilities seating up to 25 theatre style, two smaller meeting rooms seating up to 12 and a small office with computer facilities suitable for one-to-one meetings or rent-a-desk.

Competitive rate on ID Badge Printing – Competitively priced to accommodate for smaller orders, our in-house ID Badge service supports both design and printing.

Based on feedback and insight we gain from our members, our training and events offer will complement local infrastructure support training programmes.

All sessions are cost effective and VCSE sector driven.
