CCVS is a wonderful
organisation if you are
running any kind of
voluntary group.
Expert advise on hand
is invaluable and the
difference between
things successfully
happening and
benefiting the
community and not
happening at all.

Invaluable to us as a
new organisation!
On top of the
excellent training,
it’s been so
important for
networking and also
to have one place to
come for advice.
Thank you

A fantastic organisation
that is always there to
offer impartial and great
advice on best steps
forward relieving huge
pressure on charity
managers feeling
isolated and enabling
best strategy to be in
place.
A fantastic network to
support further growth
and comradery.

priorities
2019-20
Our main priority for 2019-20 will be to finalise the strategy and embed this
into the work of the organisation. We will need to continue to look at how
we can diversify our income and how we can build on our work to reach
more groups.
Additional funding from the City Council will allow us to improve our digital
offering by training the staff to deliver online training and by purchasing
some equipment that will enable us to help ourselves and groups with their
use of video. We will also be looking at developing new training in line with
the sectors needs, and ensuring we are able to bring in outside trainers
when we need their expertise.
We will be looking at developing a more coherent communications strategy
and plan in order to improve how we keep the sector informed , but also
how we can deliver communications in a more effective and efficient
manner. We will continue to build a local and national reputation as a
champion of small charities and community groups.
2019-2020 will see us looking at funding to maximise the space at Arbury
Court to ensure that tenants and others can have a variety of spaces
available to them for meetings and training. We will continue to look at
providing additional office space if a need arises.
As part of Support Cambridgeshire we will look at how we can continue to
build on the partnership and how we can continue to build a strong offer for
voluntary and community groups across the county. We will need to look at
what we do in year four of the contract and how we are engaged as the
contract goes up for retendering. We will also look at how we can develop
other partnerships both locally and nationally that will benefit groups and
allow us to develop new services.Annual Review 2018-2019

like ours.

We've had some great
help from CCVS, and it's
always a welcoming
place to visit for
meetings, etc. We feel
that anyone on our
staff can ring up for
advice on areas that
they are responsible for
and get good tips. CCVS
always offer help when
we need it.
