Welcome
If you’re involved in a local voluntary or community organisation, then Lancaster District CVS is here to support the work of your group. We work to represent, promote and develop local voluntary and community organisations.
Looking to raise funds? We can offer advice and support. We can also help with training, networking, and financial services.
We work to strengthen the sector, encouraging groups to work together, build partnerships and influence local policy.
We publish the most comprehensive, up-to-date list of voluntary, community and faith sector organisations in the district - click here for more details.
In addition we keep our members updated with our email newsletter, and we administer some small grant funds for community organisations.
If you’re looking for volunteering opportunities, click here and we’ll point you to someone who can help.
