Waltham Forest has been without any umbrella body for the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) for a long time. Now at last Waltham Forest CVS is in the process of being registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and will be launched in 2025. With initial financial support from the local council, WF CVS will also fundraise to ensure sustainability going forward.

‍

Its creation aims to ensure that there is a collective voice for the sector, as well as enabling VCS organisations to strengthen their own work and contribution to Waltham Forest’s diverse and vibrant communities.

A Membership and Communications Officer will support this by ensuring the whole VCS sector in Waltham Forest is able to engage in the new CVS and become collective ‘owners’ of its future.
