Barnsley CVS stands for Barnsley Community and Voluntary Services. Established in 2022, we operate as the infrastructure organisation for voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) groups in the Barnsley.
Our mission is to support and champion the VCSE sector, helping it reach its full potential.
We follow the best practice principles from the National Association of Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA) and achieve our mission through four main mechanisms:
We assist both organisations and members of the public with volunteering. Whether you're an individual seeking opportunities or an organisation in need of volunteers, our growing volunteer centre is here to meet your needs.
We offer support to help organisations build their capacity, the quality assurance of their services and their skills and knowledge. Our services include affordable community accountancy and payroll services, training and consultancy, grant funding and the development of community spaces.
By working closely with VCSE groups, Barnsley Council, the NHS, and private sector organisations, we foster strong partnerships. These collaborations and partnerships ensure we can meet the needs of Barnsley residents, amplify the voices of marginalised communities, and drive meaningful change.
We empower and provide support to the leaders of the charity and voluntary sector, positioning the sector as a key player in local strategies. Our goal is to improve the services offered to Barnsley residents through strong, effective leadership.
