Hull CVS

Hull CVS Hull Community and Voluntary Services (Hull CVS) was established in 1981 with the aim of supporting the development of voluntary and community groups and volunteering in Hull. Since then, we have continued to prove that we are a forward thinking organisation that constantly evolves to meet the changing needs of the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector, and leads by example as an umbrella organisation to this wider sector. We currently provide a range of traditional services and advice that fulfils the everyday needs of charitable organisations, including supporting the recruitment and management of volunteers; delivering governance and constitutional advice to organisations; and providing a range of direct business support functions including low cost accommodation and room hire; networking opportunities; training; funding advice; payroll services; and finance and HR management; all helping organisations to start, grow and develop. In addition to supporting the local sector, Hull CVS also directly delivers a range of projects to support local community empowerment. These include a range of volunteering programmes; patient voice and advocacy; direct payments support; and the administration of a number of small grant programmes for local Charitable Trusts. Meeting New Horizons (MNH) Founded in 2011 by Hull CVS, MNH was established as a subsidiary arm aimed at utilising the parent company’s 40 plus years’ experience of delivering community projects and supporting the VCSE sector in Hull, and extending this benefit across the Yorkshire and Humber region. In its short history, MNH has been successfully awarded a number of major public sector contracts, and has delivered a number of positive projects in Doncaster, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire, that have covered VCSE sector support, welfare to work programmes and health and social care projects.
