Salford Community and Voluntary Services (CVS)'s aim is making a difference in #Salford. We support the local Voluntary Community, and Social Enterprise sector with volunteering, funding, grants, governance, voice, advice, and more!
Please complete the State of the VCSE Sector survey and make sure your work in Salford is represented. The research builds a picture of the sector across GM and ensures the scale and impact of our sector is understood and reflected in decision-making.
