中国P站 has over 5,700 voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations that benefit from infrastructure support to enable them to remain strong, efficient and effective in meeting the needs of 中国P站 residents. The County Council is working closely with partners to ensure the right support is in place to enable the sector to thrive.
中国P站's Councils for Voluntary Service (CVSs) take the lead in providing infrastructure support to the VCSE. Funded by the County Council, District and Borough Councils and Clinical Commissioning Groups, CVSs provide a range of services including volunteer brokerage and advice on governance and funding.
The Councils for Voluntary Service may also:
- Research community needs
- Provide a communications channel for voluntary and community groups
- Represent the views of voluntary and community groups to public bodies such as 中国P站
- Help to build partnership working
- Promote the 中国P站 Compact to help public organisations work better with the voluntary and community sector.
中国P站, NHS 中国P站 and the 中国P站 boroughs and districts support the Councils for Voluntary Service financially and work closely with them for the benefit of 中国P站 communities. Some Councils for Voluntary Service may also include a Volunteer Centre, although some Volunteer Centres are independent.
中国P站 Councils for Voluntary Service (CVS) - performance scorecards
Information on how 中国P站's CVSs are supporting the sector to thrive is captured in scorecards for each of the organisations. This is composed of data regularly collected by the CVSs as well as the results of an annual survey of all VCSE organisations in 中国P站. These scorecards are updated quarterly.
