WELCOME TO VCAT

As the Local Development Agency in Trafford, our role is to help voluntary and community groups and local charities in their development.

• We have over four hundred members drawn from Trafford’s voluntary and community sector.
• We provide support to existing groups both funded and unfunded.
• We help new groups and existing groups to develop, provide information and training, assist in liaison with local government and enable the views of voluntary groups to be represented.
• Much of our work is with volunteers who are management committee members and can include: fund raising, financial advice, personnel and employment advice, constitutions and governance, Charity and Company formation and co-ordination of the local voluntary sector.

VCAT is the host organisation for Trafford LINk which is made up of individuals and community groups, the job of a LINk is to gather people’s views about local health and social care services, and work with the people who plan and run them to help make those services better.
