A Million Acts of Hope – Share your Stories
A Million Acts of Hope (www.millionactsofhope.org) is a national invitation to celebrate the everyday acts of kindness, care and connection happening across the UK, during a week of action from 13-20 May. At a time when division can feel loud, the campaign wants to bring together all these everyday acts of hope and shine a light on the people and communities making them happen.
Supporting the campaign, Lancaster District CVS is inviting our voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise members to share all the actions – big and small – that help to make our communities strong, healthy and caring places where everyone feels they belong.
During the week of action we’ll be sharing a social media series called Hope Lives Here, alongside a live Hope Board across our channels celebrating real stories, people and moments. Across the district, these moments of hope are already happening every day. This week is about making them visible.
We’d love you to be a part of it. You could tell us about something that’s taken place in your group or organisation, or something you’ve seen from somebody else. You could also choose to celebrate the support that’s come from a funder or partner.
You could send us something in writing, some photographs, or a short video – it’s up to you:
- Email your short written stories and reflections, alongside photographs if you have them, to [email protected]
- Take a short video on your phone. Record vertically, talking to the camera for a minute or so and use www.wetransfer.com to send it to [email protected]
Send your submissions as early as possible – the deadline is Wednesday 13 May.
If you’ve got any questions or would like to chat through an idea, please do get in touch.
Lancaster Guardian Column
Lancaster District CVS writes a column for the Lancaster Guardian every two weeks, which offers an opportunity for us to focus on anything and everything related to our sector and the work being done in communities across Lancaster. Whether it’s a good news story celebrating success, a call for volunteers, highlighting a project or need, or anything in between and beyond, we want to hear from you. What stories do you have that deserve attention? What do you want the people of Lancaster to read about?
The column must be 380-400 words so we need ideas and suggestions that would fill the space. Provide use with the information and we’ll write it up and submit it. Quotes from relevant people are always appreciated, and if you can also provide us with a decent photograph, the Lancaster Guardian will also put the column on their website (all columns appear on our own CVS website).
Email your suggestions and questions to [email protected]

New Report – VCFSE and Combined Authorities

A new report from Voluntary Sector North West brings together voices from across the North of England, exploring how the VCFSE sector is working alongside combined authorities. We’re proud that our Chief Officer has been part of this process, contributing insight and experience from our district into the wider Northern conversation.
Our North reflects a varied picture, but a shared direction with a growing appetite for the sector to move beyond consultation and into genuine partnership, helping shape decisions that affect our communities. Alongside the insights, a practical Best Practice Checklist offers a clear framework for strengthening collaboration, transparency and trust across systems.
This builds on wider conversations around devolution and the role of the sector as a strategic partner, not just a contributor. It’s well worth a read for anyone involved in place-based working, partnerships or influencing change.

Opportunities for Volunteering from Home
Do you have any volunteering roles that can be done from home? We would like to increase the number of options that are available for people who either cannot, or would prefer not to, go out to volunteer.
This can include people with disabilities; people who are challenged by anxiety, depression, or other mental wellbeing issues; people with short-term illness or injury that prevents them from going out; people who are isolating because of some other health related issue; or perhaps just people who want to do something but would find it more convenient to work from home.
Roles that could be done from home could include things like administration, finance, social media, marketing and promotion, telephone befriending etc and often would only require minimal equipment, such as a computer and an internet connection.
Please contact [email protected] with your volunteering needs. We have volunteers waiting for home-based roles, so there is potential for a quick referral.
