Voyssi Project

Voyssi is a multi cultural project specialising in developing and building capacity within BME projects.  The project aims to support Black and Minority Ethnic Communities (BME) in the fields of;

¨ Housing

¨ substance misuse, alcohol

¨ mental health

¨ Youth

¨ Women

¨ Vulnerable adults

Voyssi works cooperatively with members of each ethnic, religious and cultural group across London.

Our aim is to build capacity and knowledge through training, mentoring and support. Our objective is to ensure that the BME community across London feels confident and equipped to tackle some of the issues surrounding the needs of their own communities, as well as provide specialist advice and ongoing support.

It is important to note that Voyssi is an independent project, of the Pilion Trust gets its impetus from Government guidelines and Borough needs assessment amongst the BME community.

Ownership of training belongs to the local community.

Voyssi’s main preoccupation is to learn, understand and overcome any cultural, religious or social barriers (perceived or actual) that individuals may face in seeking support.

We are seeing the slow dismantling of the Voluntary Sector as we know it; by a government who does not appear to understand the serious long term negative impacts their decisions are going to have on our sector and the wider society..

The reduction and in some cases the total withdrawal of grants and the move towards procurement for the voluntary sector is creating its own issues within the sector. It is in some cases virtually impossible for the SME organisations to compete with the larger organisations within this accountant focused arena. .

If you were to look at our annual income you would wonder how we manage to survive each year; and it would cause you many sleepless nights and possible health issues. But on the ground down in the trenches so to speak we are phenomenal with the amount of positive work we do with our beneficiaries and Partners for the long term benefit of all.

Many organisations within our sector rely entirely on donations and for others donations are one source of their income streams; but an important source of income which needs to be worked hard at to achieve..

But blocking; because blocking the sector from its traditional sources of income at a time when the workload of the voluntary sector is increasing due to the same governments policies is criminal and very short sighted.

The long term effects are already visible with many very good and very needed organisations folding never to be resurrected means the current and potential users of those services our now turning to small organisation like ours, The Pilion Trust, we are drowning in work which is increasing by the week as the governments policies begin to be felt.

We are now looking for donations of all sizes to help us with the workload we are currently carrying and will continue to carry.

A major donor could fund us for a very long time as our CEO knows how to make money stretch, but by cutting off that potential avenue everyone’s life becomes much harder.
