Community CVS
Our Mission is "to achieve positive social change by developing active resilient communities and transforming lives through social action."
How we do this
- Helping local groups to develop and grow
Our staff offer support to community and voluntary groups. We work with them to identify the support they need in order to grow and have impact within their communities. We work with them to identify gaps and to source resources whether this in in the form of local community assets – people, equipment, venues etc, or funding.
- Leading on Volunteering
Community CVS is the nationally accredited Volunteer Centre for the borough.
Our programmes include Fast 4wd, Inclusive Volunteering, Community Links, SENDIASS and joint work with VOICE.
- Skills, Funding and Advice
Community CVS staff provide advice to individual community and voluntary groups on constitutional, financial, organisational and legal issues.
We produce a regular bulletin containing useful information about community events, training, new legislation, volunteering opportunities and funding sources.
We are currently developing a knowledge bank for groups to source on-line resources and training.
- Building networks and bringing people together
Community CVS brings voluntary and community groups and members of the community together to discuss issues of common concern, brings vulnerable individuals together for peer support, encourages a collaborative approach to asset based community development.
