A Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) is a voluntary organisation set up to support, promote and develop local voluntary and community action. CVS support their members and their local voluntary community by providing a range of services and by acting as a voice for the sector.
Mainly funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, local government, Europe and other agencies, there is a CVS working in every unitary authority in Wales. Individual CVS differ in character and size, although they usually work to the same geographical boundaries as the local authority. They can also differ in name. Many are called CVS, whilst others may be called Voluntary Action or Associations of Voluntary Service.
