the partnership of CVS across Devon
Welcome
Welcome to the website of Devon Association of Councils for Voluntary Service (DACVS). Formed in 2004, the partnership works to support the voluntary and community sector to develop and improve its contribution to the lives of local people in Devon.
The Partnership
The Partnership covers the geographical region of Devon, covering North Devon, Torridge, Mid Devon, East Devon, Exeter, West Devon, Teignbridge and the South Hams (but not Plymouth and Torbay). Its activities are governed by the Chief Officers of the local Councils for Voluntary Service (CVS).
Integrity
Through our work, we aim to ensure that the voluntary and community sector has effective local representation and that everyone is able to share best practice, skills and expertise. Also, that relationships are made with the regional and sub-regional bodies to promote the interests of the 8 CVS and their members, and to access funding to improve and increase services to the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) across Devon.
