Welcome to Prosper

Our research shows that there are inequalities in the levels of funding and inward investment into the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector in Wakefield, compared to other localities with similar challenges and demographics. Because we are independent it means we can challenge decisions and influence policies to drive social change.

Driven by our founding vision to invest in community health and wellbeing, we tackle the root causes of poverty, strengthen the voluntary and community sector, and support services that build connection and resilience.

We’re also proud to be an award-winning team; Prosper was awarded Collaboration of the Year at the Wakefield Business Awards, for our work with Wakefield Community Foundation and others on the Wakefield Children’s Bed Appeal. But this recognition really belongs to the community, to every business, philanthropist, rugby club, and individual who came together to help give children in Wakefield a bed of their own. If you’re looking to make real, meaningful change alongside a trusted, community-centred organisation, we would love to connect.
