  • Safeguarding
  • Boundaries
  • Equality & Diversity

  Foundation for Funding Support

  • Are you struggling with funding?
  • Is your team more reactive than proactive?
  • Are there developments that you never have time to implement? 

As part of the CVS service we offer all members guidance on building a strong foundation for funding, this includes looking critically at your organisation and developing your strategic plan.  Please contact enquiries@cvsce.org.uk to find out more.

If you would like an in-depth look at your strategy we offer paid-for consultancy services which can read more about here; Paid For Services.

Note, CVS membership is free to any VCFSE organisation in Cheshire East. Please email enquiries@cvsce.org.uk if you would like to become a member.
