A stronger voice for voluntary
and community groups!
Community and voluntary organisations in Derby will now have increased support to take part more effectively in partnership groups and forums in the city.
Derby City Partnership has awarded a two year contract to Derby Council for Voluntary Service, Derby CVS, to provide support and improve communication to people who represent the community and voluntary sector on a wide variety of partnership groups in Derby, from Neighbourhood Boards to Partnership Executives.
This will ensure that the local knowledge, experience and voice of this vibrant and diverse sector are heard, to enhance and influence strategic planning across the city. Derby CVS will be recruiting additional staff to provide this service as part of their wider role to support the community and voluntary
sector in the Derby.
Hazel Lymbery, Acting Director of Derby City Partnership, said, "The community and voluntary sector has a vital role to play in shaping services in Derby and Derby CVS have the local knowledge and experience to successfully support organisations in this role."
 Kim Harper, Chief Executive of Derby CVS, said, "We are excited by the challenge of delivering this new service and providing the support required for community and voluntary groups to get their voice heard on the issues that matter to the sector".
