Welcome to Cumbria CVS

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.

Action For Health

Come and join our lively and informative Action for Health event on 10th February, online. These events are an opportunity to meet with other people from third sector organisations who have an interest in all things health and care in North Cumbria. They are also a space to hear about the latest developments.
