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 next Eden Outreach Session will be on Tuesday 12 November at Penrith Library. Need support and advice with volunteering, funding, governance or something else? Claudi and Rachel can help at this free drop-in!
