United approach to help voluntary sector

A new era for local communities has begun with the launch of Your CVS — a new community and voluntary service supporting Newark, Sherwood, Rushcliffe, Broxtowe, and Gedling.

Your CVS has been established to strengthen, support and connect the network of voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise organisations working across these districts.

With a mission to empower grassroots action and champion community voices, Your CVS will act as a central hub for collaboration, advice, training, funding guidance and volunteering.

Louise Casey, chief executive of Your CVS, said: “We’re thrilled to launch Your CVS and provide a fresh, united approach to supporting the voluntary and community sector across these four diverse and vibrant districts.

“We understand the unique challenges and opportunities facing each area, and we’re here to listen, learn, and help local organisations and volunteers thrive.”

Your CVS will be offering a wide range of services, including:
Capacity-building support and bespoke training for local groups,
Guidance on funding applications and governance,
Volunteer recruitment and co-ordination through a new digital platform,
Advocacy and representation at a local, regional, and national level

The creation of Your CVS represents a proactive response to the growing need for sustainable support structures for the third sector, especially in the wake of ongoing cost-of-living challenges and increased demand on community services.

“This is about being rooted in the heart of our communities,” added Louise. “Your CVS is not just a service provider — we’re a partner, a connector and a passionate advocate for the people and organisations making a difference every day.”
