Welcome to Rushcliffe Community and Voluntary Service

We support community and voluntary groups in Rushcliffe, from advice centres and lunch clubs to wildlife trusts and scout groups. We're here to help and inspire groups and organisations to get started and run professionally. We offer expert advice and assistance with training, fundraising and volunteering, as well as giving encouragement and moral support.

And because we believe in what these groups stand for, we endeavour to represent their views to those who make decisions affecting their work. To get a fuller picture, click on the Services, Projects and Volunteers tabs.

Help us celebrate Volunteers Week 2013

Every year, over 20 million people across England and the UK volunteer, donating more than 100 million hours to their communities every week. It is estimated that the economic value of this activity is worth in more than £40 billion to our economy.  Services and initiatives that are vital to the running of our country wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for volunteers.

On Thursday 6th June 10.00 - 2.00, Rushcliffe CVS is holding a Volunteer Fair at the newly refurbished West Bridgford Library.  We would like to invite you to come and see us, find out about potential volunteering opportunities and talk to local groups who need your help.

If your group or organisation would like to take part and advertise its volunteering opportunities please contact us as soon as possible so you can book your space.
