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 children and young people in West Sussex.

We represent the sector in the Children's Trust.

We work in partnership with all the Trust partners 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 whole of the community. 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 children and young people.
