Peterborough Council for Voluntary Service (PCVS) is a registered charity that supports the voluntary sector in Peterborough. With more than 500 members, we’ve been supporting Peterborough’s charities and volunteering groups for 40 years.
About Us
What we do
Charities and volunteers play a vital role in improving the lives of thousands of people in Peterborough. Our expert support helps these incredible organisations run more effectively and make a bigger impact to local communities.
Our help across the sector is broad. From guiding groups and charities through the set-up processes for their new initiatives and offering a direct payments service, to standing up for the voluntary services sector and helping to make local lives better.
Our Aim
- Provide specialist expertise, information, and support, develop the skills local people need to run successful organisations, and help groups find and make effective use of resources.
- Spread good practice, prevent duplication of effort and support joint working.
- Make sure policy makers understand the needs of local voluntary organisations and community groups and help public bodies engage effectively with local voluntary organisations and community groups.
- Encourage more people to volunteer and get involved in voluntary and community action.
- Provide direct services to meet identified needs where there is no appropriate local member organisation to do so.
