METRO GAVS Capacity Building and Infrastructure Support Service

METRO Greenwich Action for Voluntary Service (METRO GAVS) is the Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) for the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Our mission is to provide a strategic leadership role in representing and building the capacity of the Voluntary, Community, and Faith Sector (VCFS) in the borough. 

We support established groups and organisations around funding and fundraising, as well as policy and procedure development, governance and compliance, finance and accounting, and other operational functions. We can also support local communities in setting up and establishing new VCFS groups and organisations. This support is provided either face-to-face or virtually. 

Any group or organisations which is currently delivering project(s), programme(s), service(s), and/or activities within the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Groups and organisations will need to apply for membership of METRO GAVS, which is free, and will need to be completed within six months of your support commencing. 

Your organisation needs to provide services in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. We'll help you to set up your constitution and safeguarding policies within six months. You'll also need to apply for free METRO GAVS membership within six months after your support starts.
