CVST represents the Tendring voluntary sector providing a broad overview of needs and giving a neutral and objective viewpoint ensuring the sector has a voice and thereby is assisted toward sustainability. To support other voluntary sector representatives to have their say. To act as a strategic partner with local councils, funders, health providers and government in order to influence policy, plans and strategy.
Through our Community Information Centre in central Clacton and our Dovercourt & Harwich Hub, we offer a social prescribing service, funding advice, information and guidance, training days, regular newsletters packed with charity information, beach hut hire, training, volunteer opportunities and a range of accessible meeting rooms and equipment available to hire at reasonable rates to local groups.
The Healthier Independent Longer Lives (HILL) lottery funded project works with local residents living in Clacton, Walton, Harwich and Jaywick. Our community development team will talk to local residents and find out how they feel about their community, what services they access and what is missing. Activities and services will then be established to respond to need and volunteers from the local community will be trained and supported to set up new projects and ensure that they continue.  Visit the website for details of HILL activities already set up in the Tendring District.
CVS Tendring runs the local Volunteer Centre for the district which acts as a hub to bring together organisations that need volunteers with groups and individuals who want to volunteer.
