Warwickshire Community and Voluntary Action Organisation

Website:  www.wcava.org.uk

Tel: 01827 718080

The Warwickshire CAVA is very active in Kingsbury and all the surrounding villages.

Basically it acts as a sort of umbrella group for anyone who runs (or is thinking of running) any sort of volunteer or community group.  CAVA can advise on setting up a group, staying within the law, getting funding or grants, looking after the books and paperwork, and all the other administrative issues that might arise.

CVS development workers visit Kingsbury regularly, and "outreach" sessions are held in Kingsbury at frequent intervals where people can get free advice.

 

 

Tel: 01827 717073

Website:  www.vcnw.org.uk

Acts as a bridge between people who want to help out in their local community and voluntary groups who need new volunteers.  The VC keeps a computerised list of volunteering opportunities throughout North Warwickshire, and makes sure volunteers are properly treated.

A Volunteer Centre worker is in Kingsbury Library every Monday afternoon, but there are details there at all times.
