If you're running a community or voluntary group, or want to find voluntary work in our area, contact Amber Valley CVS today to see the many ways they can help.

Running a Group?

At any one time, there are hundreds of groups across the Amber Valley, all working really hard to help others, and make our community a better place to live and work. Some are run to provide everyday support to help vulnerable or disadvantaged people through the day, others to share a love of social activities like sports or particular local interest groups.

But whilst running a community or voluntary group is an incredibly rewarding thing to do it can be hard. Amber Valley CVS can help you to:

• Find and recruit volunteers 
• Supervise volunteers 
• Train your members, offering training tailored to your needs 
• Advice on appropriate accounting and finance procedures 
• Write and maintain appropriate records and policies 
• Understand insurances and any other legal requirements 

Amber Valley CVS even offer a full CRB check service for groups working with children or vulnerable adults.

Amber Valley CVS's work in the Community

As well as working to support volunteers and groups, Amber Valley CVS also run their own local schemes, working with families and the elderly to improve their quality of life and help them with day to day issues, and working with young people to ensure that their issues and concerns are voiced.

Home From Hospital

A free service for those aged 50+ who are about to be discharged from hospital and need support and assistance to return home.

Befriending

If you're over 50 and feeling isolated and lonely, Amber Valley CVS can provide a companion to call in once a week for a chat and to share some social time with you.

Help at Home

Many disabled or elderly people and some other adults too are unable to cope with all the jobs that need doing at home. Amber Valley CVS can provide a little help to come in and help with jobs such as cleaning, shopping, laundry, gardening and even collection of prescriptions.

AVEDASS

A scheme to support young people and children who are victims and witnesses of domestic violence.

SOS for Families

This service is a signposting service, helping families in crisis or need to find out where they can get the help that will help them the most.
