York CVS is a social action organisation. We take steps to make positive change, challenge issues and grow new ideas which strengthen communities. Since 1939, York CVS has supported thousands of local charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises to do just this. We help them to focus on what they do best - making a difference for communities.
As a leading infrastructure organisation, we support and develop the local voluntary, community and social enterprise sector in York. Our work falls into three main areas - advocating and speaking up for the sector, creating and growing social action projects and providing support and information services to enable our local organisations to survive and thrive. We also provide office accommodation for around 20 local organisations and offer conference and meeting rooms for hire.
