Membership Benefits
Any voluntary, community, faith or social enterprise (VCFSE) group or organisation based in the Lancaster district is eligible for full membership of Lancaster District CVS. Organisations that don’t fit this criteria and consultants working commercially within the sector are eligible for associate membership.
Lancaster District CVS membership is free. By joining our network, you’ll be part of a committed community of grassroots organisations changing the lives of local people.
Email Bulletin
We email you a weekly bulletin with the latest news on funding, training, jobs and events, making sure you know what’s going on in the district and can get involved with things that are relevant to your organisation.
Feedback and Opinions
You’ll get a voice in how we operate. Lancaster District CVS welcomes the feedback and opinions of our membership, helping us to become a stronger and more relevant organisation.
