Council for Voluntary Service

A Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) is a voluntary organisation which is set up, owned and run by local groups to support, promote and develop local voluntary and community action. CVS support their members by providing them with a range of services and by acting as a voice for the local voluntary and community sector.

Usually funded by the local authority and other local statutory agencies, there is a CVS working in almost every district and city in England. Individual CVS differ in character and size, although they usually work to the same geographical boundaries as the local authority.

We are currently looking to establish working relationships with several CVS organisations across Staffordshire in order to ensure that sport is at the forefront of their agenda and to develop a level of service that will be of benefit to local sporting organisations in terms of training, access to new volunteers and networking opportunities.

In the meantime, it may be worthwhile joining your local CVS as a voluntary organisation which is usually free. To obtain contact details of your local CVS please click here.
