WSCVYS is an independent charity working to raise the profile of youth work, to promote and share good practice and to influence local policy that has an impact on children and young people and the projects that support them.

In short - WSCVYS is the voice and champion of the voluntary and community sector working with young people in West Sussex.

We work in partnership with West Sussex County Council and the Children's Trust partners and the voluntary youth sector to support the work of our member organisations so that they will deliver services to all young people, without discrimination, to develop their physical, emotional, mental and spiritual capacities.

The strength of WSCVYS is the diversity of our member organisations and the voluntary youth sector. It can be a challenge to get a single representative voice but it is this very diversity that enables the sector to respond efficiently to the real needs of young people.
