Cherwell Community & Voluntary Service & Volunteer Bureau

Cherwell CVS functions are:

-To develop initiatives in the voluntary sector

-To provide services to local voluntary organisations

-To facilitate co-operation between voluntary bodies, local authorities and statutory agencies.

Its aims are:

-To respond to the needs of local voluntary bodies

-To act as a focus for co-ordination between statutory bodies and voluntary organisations

-To support and encourage new voluntary initiatives in the community.

We also host a driving scheme and run a furniture store.

Additionally, the CVS hosts the Volunteer Bureau which recruits & places volunteers within local voluntary organisations. 

We offer a free, confidential interview to discuss individuals interests and match them to an appropriate opportunity. Volunteering is a way of gaining new skills and experience as well as a chance to try something new.
