Basildon Billericay and Wickford CVS (Council for Voluntary Service) was formed in 1979Â as an independent registered charity that exists to promote, develop, support and represent a thriving, effective, voluntary and community sector in the borough
We are guided by values that promote equality of opportunity, participation, cooperation, partnership and democratic involvement. We promote local voluntary and community action in order to combat poverty and disadvantage, and to improve the quality of life for all of Basildon’s communities and citizens.
We do this by providing a range of services to meet the needs of voluntary and community organisations, helping those that are starting up as well as organisations that are already established. We also support joint working between voluntary and community organisations, with business, and the statutory sector, and help to make sure the interests and concerns of the VCS are well represented.
Basildon, Billericay and Wickford CVS Volunteer Centre acts as a hub to bring together organisations that need volunteers with groups and individuals who want to volunteer
Basildon Billericay and Wickford CVS is registered charity (1148943) and a company limited by guarantee (8028602). We are governed by trustees who are nominated and elected by our members.
