New dedicated workspace for the Voluntary and Community Sector

A new dedicated workspace has been created at Wandsworth Town Hall for the borough’s Voluntary and Community Sector.

Wandsworth’s voluntary and community organisations play an important role in supporting residents, whether through food banks, youth support, community projects or services for vulnerable residents. However, many operate on limited budgets, with little access to dedicated office space.

Recognising this, Wandsworth Council has opened Wandsworth Town Hall to provide a new and flexible workspace, designed specifically for the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS). The VCS Hub has 24 workstations, three meeting rooms and a collaborative workspace.

Deputy Leader Kemi Akinola said: “The VCS Hub is going to be an exciting opportunity for organisations to collaborate and network as well as giving them their own space to thrive. We want to support grassroots organisations who do so much for our local community, and we are delighted to welcome them to the Town Hall. Their work is so valuable and needs a place to grow from.”

The hub is free to use for the first three months and provides flexible working, allowing organisations to book desks and meeting rooms to suit their needs.
