"Supporting the Voluntary and Community Sector of Derwentside"

Our History

  • We started up in 1996 to support the Voluntary and Community sector in Derwentside.


  • The first thing CVS did was to apply for money to create a Volunteer Bureau.


  • CVS is a registered Charity. We are going through the process of becoming an Incorporated Charity.


  • We are run by a committee of local people and have 4 members of staff


  • We first established ourselves in the Louisa Centre and recently moved into the Tommy Armstrong Centre which we now manage.
