Are you involved in running a charity or community group? Maybe you’re thinking of setting one up. Or are you looking for an opportunity to volunteer somewhere? Come to one of our Drop-in sessions to find how Mid Sussex Voluntary Action can help you.
This is your chance to meet our Community Development Coordinators who can talk to you about the benefits of MSVA membership, funding opportunities, best practice, promoting volunteering roles etc. It is also an opportunity for those who are looking to find a suitable volunteering role, to chat to us about what’s out there. We look forward to seeing you!

The organisations previously known to you as ‘CVS’ or Councils for Voluntary Services provide support and development services (infrastructure) to voluntary and community groups across West Sussex.

A Vision for the Future:
As part of our commitment to partnership working and sharing best practice, we have been meeting regularly as the ‘CVS Network’ since 2008 and have worked together collaboratively on a project basis. We have now agreed that it will be both productive and beneficial for us and our membership to create a more formal structure to support our future shared working. We have formed the West Sussex Voluntary and Community Sector Infrastructure Alliance (WSVCSI) or ‘the Alliance’ as we hope it will become more widely known. The Alliance has become operational on 1 April 2019.
