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.
Join our online facilitated workshop, aimed at smaller organisations and groups who are new to bid writing and approaching funders. The session helps clarify and organise your ideas around projects and prepares you to approach funders with more confidence.
