Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester
Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester (VAAC) is a registered charity (Charity number 1113641) based in West Sussex, England, dedicated to supporting voluntary and community groups within the Arun and Chichester districts. The organisation focuses on combating social exclusion, disadvantage, and inequalities in accessing services throughout the Chichester District and its surrounding areas.
Mission and Objectives
VAAC aims to promote and support voluntary and community groups by providing free advice, information, support, training, and events. Its key objectives include:
- Helping groups address social exclusion and disadvantages.
- Facilitating access to services for underserved communities.
- Supporting environmental sustainability initiatives in collaboration with local partners.
Services and Activities
VAAC offers a wide range of support services to voluntary and community organisations, including:
- Advice and information services tailored to the needs of local groups.
- Training sessions and workshops to build capacity and skills among voluntary sector organisations.
- Organising networking and community events, such as the annual Volunteers’ Week celebrations and community green initiatives.
- Facilitating partnerships that promote sustainability, such as the collaboration with Meadow Blue Community Energy Ltd to support environmental and energy efficiency measures in Bognor Regis, Chichester, and surrounding rural areas.
Additionally, VAAC holds events like the Community Green Initiatives networking event, providing opportunities for groups interested in climate and environmental issues to connect with public and private stakeholders.
IT and Infrastructure Support
Recognising the challenges faced by voluntary groups in managing technology, VAAC has enhanced its IT infrastructure through a partnership with Qlic IT for Charities. This collaboration addressed the organisation’s hybrid working challenges and cyber security concerns by implementing an industry-leading Microsoft 365-based solution. This upgrade provides VAAC users with a secure, efficient, and scalable IT environment, improving operational effectiveness and resilience.
Community Impact
VAAC plays a vital role in fostering community cohesion and resilience in the Arun and Chichester districts by empowering voluntary and community groups. Through its ongoing support and initiatives, VAAC helps ensure these groups can continue to deliver essential services and opportunities to the local population, especially targeting those facing social and service access inequalities.
Voluntary Action Arun and Chichester represents a key resource within West Sussex for voluntary sector organisations, enabling them to thrive and better serve their communities.

The last year has been a difficult time for our service. We were forced to close one of our 4 domestic abuse refuges for women and children and also had to reduce our community services – at a time when there was a waiting list of those needing help."
