| Directory
of Voluntary and Community Groups
The first edition
of the Directory of Voluntary and Community Groups working within
the High Peak was published in 2003. It includes 265 entries:
self help groups, social clubs and larger service providers. We
have also included some statutory sector organisations.
It was produced
by High Peak CVS for members of the public as well as community
development workers. We hope that it is a useful reference guide,
helping to signpost people to organisations and groups whilst highlighting
the variety of the sector within the borough. Copies
are still available for organisations to purchase: £5 per
copy for voluntary or community groups, £7.50 per copy for
statutory sector. To order a copy, email

NACVS
- Changing Lives
"CVS are
at the very heart of the local voluntary and community sector
– leading local activity and linking up across sectors.
Without CVS, organisations falter and individuals miss life-changing
opportunities. Put simply, CVS make things happen."
This short publication
gives a flavour of what CVS do, working behind the scenes,
to ensure the long-term future of essential services. Most
of all, it is about the lives of local people, which are
touched, enriched and transformed as a result of their work.
Much of the work that CVS's do focuses on several key areas:
services and support; development work; liaison; representation;
and strategic partnerships. This publication looks at what
this means on the ground. |
