Our experienced Membership Services Team can offer advice and support covering all aspects of running your group.

We have written a series of information sheets and resources that can get you started if you feel confident on your own. If you would like to talk through any queries, or would like some support forming your group, then join CVS and our expert team can support you and your organisation with information, advice and guidance via the phone, email or in person. 

You will find information and resources relating to running you group under each of the blue sections below. They are arranged under the different headings of GRIPP Assurance.  GRIPP is a  step towards a quality assurance mark which has been developed by CVS. 

Please note that all these resources/templates will need to be adapted to fit your own organisation and your dedicated Development Officer can help you with this if you would find this beneficial.
