Here at York Centre for Voluntary Service (known as York CVS) we’re passionate about supporting and championing York’s Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Sector.
As an independent charity, we provide practical support and guidance to enable charitable organisations in York to thrive.
We bring local groups and organisations together to tackle local issues in order to make positive change, challenge local issues and grow new ideas to support our city’s people and communities.
