New Impact Report 2025: Celebrating Community, Collaboration & Change

Each year, MVA works closely with organisations across Medway and Swale to understand the challenges they face, the support they need, and the impact they are delivering within their communities.

This report brings that work to life — combining insight, data and real stories from across the sector.

Powered by Partnerships

At the heart of this year’s report is collaboration.

Our impact would not be possible without the strength of our partnerships — from grassroots organisations to system leaders. We are proud to work alongside so many stakeholders.

Through networks and partnerships we continue to strengthen connections across sectors — ensuring communities are better supported and voices are heard.

What the Report Shows

The Impact Report highlights:

  • The reach and scale of MVA’s support to local organisations
  • Key insights from across the VCSEF sector
  • The challenges facing communities and charities
  • Real community success stories demonstrating lived impact
  • The value of collaborative, system-wide working

It reflects MVA’s role as a connector, facilitator and advocate — supporting organisations to grow, collaborate and deliver meaningful change.

Real Stories, Real Impact

Behind every statistic is a story.

From supporting new and emerging community groups to strengthening established organisations, the report demonstrates how collective action is improving lives across Medway — particularly for those in underserved communities.
