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 CEO, Carolyn Otley, has had another busy month, including a Landrover-based visit to Parliament with Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team. The long day out was part of a push to (re)establish the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Volunteer Rescue Services. Find out why, in Carolyn’s latest blog.
