Surrey Community Action is a member of the
Surrey CVS Network.
This is a Surrey wide network
of voluntary and community sector organisations, know as CVS (Council
for Voluntary Service) that provide support and advice to a vast
number of voluntary and community groups throughout the county.
The Network employs a Development Manager, Sonia Hubbard, who disseminates
best practice and works hard to avoid each separate organisation ‘reinventing
the wheel’. There is a CVS in almost every borough in Surrey
plus a county wide one. Volunteer centres are also widespread,
either as an integral part of the CVS or as an independent, stand
alone organisation.
Volunteer Centres recruit for the voluntary
and statutory agencies and act as a focal point for people who
are looking for voluntary work and there are 16 of them across
Surrey.
Both CVS and Volunteer Centres aim to increase public awareness
of the personal rewards and satisfaction that can be found through
voluntary
work.
For further information on the Surrey CVS Network and its members,
