Burnley, Pendle & Rossendale Council for Voluntary
Service
CVS is a local development agency which exists to
develop, support and promote voluntary action and charitable
activity. The activity can be summarised in six key statements: •
we provide a range of support services to groups such as
training, information, advice, payroll and office functions
including access to sources of funding and constitutional advice;
• we, through contact with individuals and groups, identify gaps
in the provision of services and develop initiatives to meet
those needs; • we bring together voluntary, community and faith
organisations to discuss issues of common concern. This helps to
avoid duplication of effort and helps to ensure that groups work
together; • we help to disseminate information about statutory
service provision and development; • we represent the views of
the voluntary sector on many statutory led committees; • we are
engaged in strategic partnership activity, including Local Area
Agreements.
