CVS Brent is an independent, capacity building organisation, supporting groups providing community services on a not-for-profit basis, on behalf of the local community; particularly those local to Brent.

We contribute to the creation of an independent, trusted and sustainable voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE); to further develop a thriving civil society.

This is achieved through the provision of relevant & high quality services using a mixture of group training, information and guidance.

Our services generally involve:

• Consulting the local voluntary, community and social enterprise sector (VCSE), and residents in order to empower them to influence local political strategy, policy and decision-making
• Bespoke fundraising training, advice, information and guidance
• Governance and planning advice and support
• Networking and representation
• Keeping abreast of new policies and initiatives affecting the sector and disseminating information
• Develop partnerships with local civil society, local and regional statutory bodies and the private sector
