  The voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector is an important partner for statutory health and social care agencies and plays a key role in improving health, wellbeing and care outcomes for people across Wirral. These include local support groups, charities, church and faith groups and other non-profit organisations.

 The ‘voluntary sector’ refers to organisations whose primary purpose is to create social impact rather than profit. It is often called the third sector, charitable, civil society or the not for profit sector.
