This mark is open to York CVS member organisations that commit to the York Citywide Volunteering Pledge and demonstrate their support of the Principles of Good Quality Volunteering.
Help shape York CVS’s Strategic Plan for the next 5 years
Over the past five years, our strategic priorities have helped guide our work in supporting York’s voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector. As we look ahead to the next five years, we remain committed to these priorities and believe they continue to reflect the needs of our communities.
We want to build on this foundation and keep working towards the same goals – supporting our members, promoting volunteering, tackling poverty and loneliness, and helping people stay well – while strengthening our approach through collaboration, inclusion and lived experience.
We’d love to know your thoughts! Please take a few minutes to review our priorities and share your feedback. Your insights will help ensure our work continues to reflect the needs and aspirations of York’s VCSE sector.
