The membership offer will include:

  • free or subsidised training
  • networking opportunities
  • specialist funding support
  • advice around governance and managing your organisation
  • access to CWVA’s brand-new volunteer platform and support with volunteer management
  • opportunities through the SkillShare initiative to be matched with other sectors so you can take advantage of their skills and expertise
  • regular communications so you can keep up-to-date with the latest information and advice
  • support with promoting your organisation across CWVA’s platforms
  • much more.

Clare Harrison, Deputy Chief Executive of CWVA, said: “The community sector has always been such an important part of society, but more people have realised that during the pandemic with the valuable and professional services we all provide.

“We’re very proud to support and act as a voice for all our members and we’ve introduced this small membership fee so we can continue developing and expanding our services.

“We’ll continue to shape our offer around what our members need so it’s value for money and you’re getting as much support as you need from us.”
