About BSWN

To strengthen the BVCS in the region by increasing its influence in policy arenas, developing the capacity, providing support, and facilitating skills and knowledge sharing across the sector.

The work we do involves a strategic action and delivery-based approach to overcoming discrimination, exclusion, and under representation impacting the BME, and other marginal communities, in the South West. Moreover, our approach also aims to empower these communities by tackling socio-economic deprivation by working in partnership with other agencies and organisations.

As a whole, BSWN is a one-stop-shop for capacity building and community empowerment where with our members we work to create a better informed, skilled and represented third sector
