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.
4Cs of CDEC – compassion, collaboration, citizenship and critical thinking – Gabriela Lipska, District Manager Westmorland and Furness, talks to Laura Goad, Director of Cumbria Development Education Centre based in Ambleside, as part of our Beyond the Edge – Inspiration and Innovation interview series.
Check out our regularly updated selection of news, events and opportunities for January, curated by our Health & Wellbeing team.
Gareth Cavanagh, our Development Officer for Allerdale, is back with an update on his first 10 months and all that has been achieved (including helping local Third Sector organisations bring in more than £14,800 in charity funding) and what support is available in the coming months.
We can help you share your latest news & events! If you’ve got something you want us to share, send it in and we’ll add it to our weekly Useful Information post, getting what you’re up to in front of the VCFSE sector across Cumbria.
We’ve rounded up the very latest events, training opportunities, charity news, surveys, research, feedback, reports, services and much more – in one handy place! Our Useful Information page is updated with new information as we receive it, and there’s a new page every week.
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!
