Amber Valley CVS

Amber Valley CVS supports the development of a vibrant voluntary sector in Amber Valley, serving as a point of access to information, guidance and practical support for local groups, volunteers and residents. Its services include help for new and established community groups with governance, constitutions, policies, human resources, volunteer recruitment and management, funding, training and commissioning. The organisation also offers volunteering opportunities, befriending and phone-buddy services, and social prescribing through link workers. Its Health at Home services include help at home, domestic support, gardening, bespoke befriending and a home-from-hospital service.

Amber Valley CVS connects people with local community groups, venues, services and directories, and provides information through its website, newsletters and e-bulletin. Member organisations can access advice and publicity, attend networking events, contribute to the organisation’s direction and vote at its annual general meeting. The organisation also hosts events and offers meeting-room hire. Through these activities, Amber Valley CVS helps strengthen community connections and makes support and information more accessible across the area.
