About Us
Who we are and what we offer
Community Action Wyre Forest is a local infrastructure organisation and Council for the Voluntary Service (CVS). We exist to support, promote, develop and represent voluntary action. We:
-
promote initiatives that address community needs, including social inclusion and disadvantage
-
strengthen public, private and voluntary partnerships in the interest of the community of Wyre Forest.
Our organisation was started in 2000 by local groups who identified the need to have such an organisation. A year later they were successful in securing a start up fund and we became operational in July 2001. We took over the local volunteer centre in October that year and, since then, have supported many groups and individuals wanting to volunteer.
We are a registered charity and company limited by guarantee and are overseen by a board of trustees that meets regularly.
