WHAT WE DO

WSA Community delivers high-quality community development and evaluation projects with professionalism and integrity.

We work on projects that support voluntary and community groups, funding partners and public-sector organisations to  deliver constructive change.

 

We have a strong ethical approach, valuing inclusion, respect and accessibility. Everyone involved with WSA values the power of lived experience to demonstrate what matters to people, contribute to change and influence decision makers.
