We are part of a national network of 250 CVS’s across the country, supported by a national body National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA). The organisation's main purpose is to promote, develop and support the voluntary and community sector inSutton.

We currently have around 300 voluntary and community groups in membership, which vary considerably in size and scope from smaller volunteer led and run community groups to larger organisations employing staff and providing services to significant numbers of local people.
