The role of NCVS

Nottingham Council for Voluntary Services (NCVS) is an umbrella organisation that serves, facilitates and benefits the voluntary and community sector in Nottingham.

Established in 1875, we work with our diverse communities to make positive differences to people's lives. We offer information, advice, support, training and a range of other different services to a vast collection of voluntary organisations, community groups and individuals in the city.

We aim to:

  • Enable groups in our diverse and successful community and voluntary sector to complete their objectives
  • Enable individuals to be involved in their community and to benefit as a result
  • Involve the community and voluntary sector in important issues and give them a strong voice in strategic partnerships and planning processes.
