Background

Volition was established in 1987 as the ‘Leeds Voluntary Sector Mental Health Forum’. In 2004 the charity changed its name to ‘Volition-Leeds’.

The Forum Central partnership emerged in 2016. It was established following consultation and feasibility studies conducted with commissioners and members of Volition, Tenfold, LOPF and the PSI (physical and sensory impairment) Network. The scope of this change was to streamline commissioning and strengthen the voice of the third sector in health and care.

In 2017 Volition merged with the PSI Network the Leeds third sector infrastructure group hosted by Voluntary Action Leeds. In 2020 we merged with Tenfold, the Learning Disability Forum. From April 2020 the newly merged organisation opted to use the working name Volition.
