Welcome to Cumbria CVS

Cumbria Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) is a registered charity. We offer help to third sector groups throughout Cumbria. By third sector we mean voluntary and community groups, faith groups, sports groups and social enterprises – in fact any non-statutory group or organisation.

The help we offer covers a wide range of topics including:

• funding advice
• HR support
• payroll and other financial services
• helping to write a business plan
• training and workforce development
• support for people who volunteer
• support for organisations who manage volunteers
• support in tendering for contracts

We can help start a group or organisation from scratch, or we can work with established groups to make what they do even better.

We represent groups and organisations to service planners and commissioners. Together we form a powerful voice.
