Thurrock CVS is an infrastructure organisation that supports voluntary and community based organisations in Thurrock.
We do this by working behind the scenes to ensure the long-term future of essential services. Much of the work that CVS does focuses on several key areas:- • Services and support; • Development work; • Liaison; • Representation; • Strategic partnershipsThurrock CVS provides support in the form of funding advice, training, access to meeting rooms and equipment, newsletters and specialist services. It encourages networking between individuals and groups within the sector, and between local groups and the statutory and private sectors. Groups can learn from each other, establish contacts and work more effectively.With government encouraging the development of voluntary and community based groups in shaping and delivering services, Thurrock CVS enables the views of local groups to be represented and for them to get involved and influence public policy and decisions. It helps many local groups to participate in a wide range of partnerships - these include regeneration, neighborhood renewal, health and social care, learning and other government initiatives.They may be sub-regional, district wide or neighborhood based.
