Knowsley CVS

A new style of volunteering project for 16-25 year olds in Knowsley, is opening doors for young people.

vTalent is a new two-year pilot project which aims to give young people skills and experience, whilst harnessing the unique contribution that they themselves can make to services, for young people and children in Knowsley.

Knowsley Council is one of 33 local authorities in the country to have gained funding for the project from ‘V', the national volunteering organisation.

BASIS for future success with KCVS

Knowsley CVS has been awarded nearly £500,000 over three years by the Big Lottery Fund to enable it to provide a comprehensive package of support services to the voluntary, community and faith sector in Knowsley. KCVS will be working closely with Knowsley Council and the Greater Merseyside ChangeUp Consortium to deliver the project.

The national Health for Kids awards, presented in partnership with the British Heart Foundation, is an excellence programme that rewards good practise for projects and initiatives throughout the UK that have made a real difference to child health.

Knowsley CVS is entering a new era in its role as infrastructure support organisation for the voluntary, community and faith (VCF) sector in Knowsley. The appointment of a new Chief Executive, Linda Richings, and the recent restructuring of the Board under a new Chair, Chris O'Hare, has paved the way for KCVS to meet some of the exciting challenges which lay ahead for the VCF sector.
