Cumbria CVS is a registered charity and membership organisation. We help community/voluntary/not-for-profit groups and organisations to develop and improve by providing training and services that can be 1:1 support, funding advice, bespoke training, or through our regular training courses. We help place volunteers, and work with groups that involve volunteers to follow best practice.
Our annual Barrow Funding Fair provides an excellent opportunity for local groups and organisations to network with one another and to meet with local, regional and national funders face to face. Book your place!
