About Us
Lancaster District Community Voluntary Solutions (LDCVS) is a registered charity founded in 1972.
We have a strong history of supporting the voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise sector (VCFSE) and ensuring these organisations are visible, valued and heard.
With years of experience, we understand the needs of communities and offer support to voluntary organisations in these communities.
We guide, represent and support hundreds of community organisations – charities, CICs, community groups and other not for profits – across Lancaster District.
Over the years, we have helped organisations connect with over 1,000 volunteers, and have supported projects with grants to a total investment of over £500,000.
Our core work supports:
- Collaboration through partnership meetings
- Shared learning through events
- Training and funding advice
- Providing grant funding for local projects
- Helping organisations start-up and develop
- Payroll and independent examination of accounts
- Helping organisations work with volunteers, and matching their opportunities with people who want to start giving their time.
