What do we do?

Main introduction to the range of services offered by CVS.

Funding Advice

We can help with identifying possible sources of funding and how to make applications. We also have regular Meet the Funders Workshops and training sessions.

Volunteer Centre

If you're looking to join the 22 million people in England who already give their time to improve the lives of others, or your organisation needs volunteers to help it carry out its work, then Volunteering Northumberland can help you.

Employability Programme

We offer three programmes to local unemployed people to assist them in gaining employment, improve skills and offer jobsearch support. The programmes are open to individuals from Jobcentre Plus, other agencies (i.e. Connexions) and self referrals.

The Re:Action Project

The project has been in existence since 1998, assists disabled and elderly people and their carers live independent lives, through the development of innovative projects, information and support.

Project Development

We can help new groups with setting up a management committee, constitutions, bank accounts, training and business planning in preparation for funding.

Community Engagement Project

The Community Engagement Project represents the aims and aspirations of all local groups who are working for the good of the community in the local area.

Wansbeck Forum for Older People

Wansbeck CVS hosts and facilitates the forum meetings.

The aim of the Forum is to provide a “Central Voice” where older people can come together and discuss anything of common concern.
