MSVA has a new name!

Welcome to Community People!

We are a charity on a mission to support our communities to thrive.

For us: it’s all about people.

People coming together to act on what’s important to them.

People having access to health, wellbeing, justice, and opportunity.

People being heard across all our communities.

People being given the tools and platforms to pursue their passions and make a positive impact in their communities.

We champion the role of community organisations and the people who power them. We collaborate with other community organisations, businesses, public sector and individuals, supporting them to do work that drives positive and long-lasting social change.

How can we help you to start and grow something today?

Making change: Our positive footprint
