This Trustee's Week we are expanding our board! 

Barnsley Community and Voluntary Service is in an exciting phase of development.  After recently hiring a strategic and forward-looking CEO, we are seeking to diversify the Barnsley CVS board to provide a strong governance framework and fresh thoughts and ideas.

The Barnsley CVS play an instrumental role in ensuring the voluntary, charity and social enterprise (VCSE) sector fully realises it’s potential in Barnsley.  To do this, we work closely with the council and the NHS to gather, understand and respond to the ever-developing needs of the population of Barnsley.  Simultaneously, we empower and provide leadership to the charity and voluntary sector to be a key player in these strategies.  We aim to achieve this by supplying capacity building support for charities; provide opportunities for greater partnership working and collaborations; identify avenues to amplify the voices of the most marginalised communities; and understand and share the needs of the people in Barnsley to forge change.

If you are passionate about the VCSE sector in Barnsley and the potential it holds to change the lives of those who live and work here; we are seeking your thoughts, ideas and insights to propel Barnsley CVS to it’s next stage of development.
