Company activities and impact

The company runs VCS Academy CIC, a capacity-building and fiscal hosting organisation with a particular emphasis on supporting community groups and under-represented NGOs through fiscal hosting, governance support, digital tools, and compliance coaching. During the financial year 2024–25, VCS Academy’s activities have benefited the community in the following ways: community leaders across multiple regions have been able to access 120 expert-led learning programmes and resources, including courses on leadership, governance, fundraising, and social impact management 21 grassroots organisations and emerging non-profits have been able to operate legally and access international grant opportunities through the company’s fiscal hosting and financial administration services fundraising reach and credibility have been strengthened through 1 global partnership with GlobalGiving as a vetted Community Partner, improving access to established fundraising infrastructure and donor networks 65 humanitarian initiatives have been supported, including the facilitation of emergency grants for displaced communities across the globe grantees and volunteers have been able to advance effective civil society action through 24 multi-language supports and practical tools designed to improve coordination, reporting, and delivery the company has demonstrated high levels of commitment to transparency, engagement, and continuous community empowerment, reinforcing trust and accountability across the initiatives it supports.

Consultation with stakeholders

he company’s stakeholders are community groups, under-represented NGOs, community leaders, volunteers, and partner organisations operating across multiple regions. The directors of the company have developed VCS Academy’s model in response to repeated, practical barriers faced by grassroots organisations particularly around legal operation, governance, access to funding, and safe programme delivery. We ask organisations and leaders engaging with VCS Academy for the first time to complete a short onboarding and needs-assessment process covering governance maturity, compliance risks, operational capacity, and intended programme outcomes. This has helped us to build up a clearer profile of where support is most needed and what tools and coaching will remove bottlenecks fastes
