Central London CVS Network

The Central London CVS Network is a voluntary partnership whose members are the Councils for Voluntary Service (CVS) in seven central London boroughs; Camden, Islington, Kensington & Chelsea, Lambeth, Southwark, Wandsworth and Westminster. It was set up in 2001.

The network's role is primarily to

  • Identify opportunities to maximise resources for the sector through partnership working
  • Promote and raise awareness of the value, profile and contribution the voluntary sector makes
  • Share good practice, skills and experience
  • Ensure the sector has effective representation on any planning groups operating across the sub-region and region
  • Enable the involvement of the voluntary and community sector in any sub-regional work.

Key areas of work

The CLCVS Network recently identified the following areas of work as priorities for sub-regional work:

  • Training and development for staff and volunteers
  • Commissioning and procurement
  • Measuring impact
  • Transforming social care

The Network is hosted by Voluntary Action Islington.
