RSP Member - Action Hampshire

Whether it’s a large charity, a small lunch club, or a social enterprise, we enable and inspire people, organisations and communities to be the best they can be!

Action Hampshire’s specialist knowledge in the community, voluntary and social enterprise sector spans over 72 years. We support this sector to deliver great services to local people and communities; speak up for the changes they would like to see and shape the future of where they live and work. We bring the ‘voices’ of the sector together to create social change and make the world a better and fairer place.

Throughout our history, we have supported community-led action, particularly in rural areas, across Hampshire and beyond. From our work on community-led housing and planning to supporting community-led research and community resilience activity, we champion the voices of communities and lived experience.

We are proud to support diverse communities from Basingstoke to Portsmouth. We empower communities and organisations to challenge inequity and disadvantage, and seek to raise the voice of marginalised and seldom heard communities.

Our vision...

is of strong, connected communities in a just and equitable world.

Our purpose...

is to work with communities, community organisations and businesses with a social purpose, empowering them to thrive. We are a trusted advocate, listening to communities and championing voluntary and social action. We collaborate to enable positive, sustainable change.

All of our work is driven by and underpinned by our values: Enterprising, Empowering, Bold and Informative

How can we help you?

At Action Hampshire we strengthen and connect, promote and support and act as champion of what we believe in. We help organisations make BOLD decisions and stand up for what they believe in.
