York Cvs

As an independent charity we work directly with, and for, charities, community groups and social enterprises in York. A lot of our work is behind the scenes; providing support with the day-to-day running of VCSE organisations, including: • Supporting new and existing VCSE groups and organisations with our training programme, guidance about legal structures, governance issues, policies and procedures and identifying potential funding sources and developing funding bids; • Bringing organisations together to discuss and challenge local issues through our events and voluntary sector forums; • Representing the sector at strategic board level to ensure the sector’s voice is heard; • Championing the sector by promoting what you do best – making a difference for individuals and their communities.
