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.
From Idea to Application: A Practical Workshop for New Fundraisers – Monday 15th September, online. This workshop is designed for small organisations and community groups who are new to bid writing. It will support you in shaping and clarifying your project idea, exploring it with others, and gaining confidence in presenting it to funders.
Looking for #funding for your project? Book your place at our South Lakes Funding Fair – 23rd September, Kendal. This is a fantastic opportunity for local groups to engage in person with local and national funders and support groups regarding project/funding requirements.
Cumbria CVS Green blog No 17 is here! We have something a bit different this time from colleague Rebecca Guy, Third Sector Referral Coordinator, who shares with us a poem inspired by a lunch break cycle ride to collect surplus supermarket food. You’ll also find links to useful resources, information and news!
