We have recently merged to become Community & Voluntary Services Cheshire East. We are currently building a new web site which can be viewed here:

CVS Cheshire East 

CVS Cheshire East is an independent organisation supporting the development of a vibrant, effective and influential voluntary and community sector (VCS) locally.

CVS Cheshire East is a registered charity (no. 1132927) governed by a Board of Management (Trustees) nominated and elected by its members.  CVS Cheshire East membership represents hundreds of local voluntary & community groups and a smaller number of individuals.

CVS Cheshire East is a member of the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action and works closely with NAVCA members both locally and nationally.

What does a CVS do?

CVS Cheshire East provides a wide range of support and services to groups, helping those that are starting up, as well as organisations that are already established.  We are committed to equal opportunties and to making our services relevant and accessible to smaller groups. 

We also support networks and partnership working and we have an intermediary role, supporting and facilitating joint working between voluntary and community groups and with statutory bodies; and helping to ensure that the interests and concerns of the voluntary and community sector are properly represented.

In addition to supporting groups, we also support individuals who wish to become volunteers and those already involved in volunteering.

The services we provide are described in detail in each of the sections listed at the top of this page:

Advice and support
Funding
Partnerships and networks

We have designed this website to be a useful resource for voluntary and community sector groups and hope you find it user friendly.
