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.
A new Local Government Organisation good practice guide sets out some simple, practical steps that councils can take to work with infrastructure organisations in order to strengthen and engage effectively with smaller VCSE organisations. The guide includes a case study focussing on the short notice opening of asylum accommodation in Barrow in early 2022.
