Droitwich CVS Supporting your Community!
Helping the community of Droitwich recover from COVID19 by continuing to support the vulnerable and isolated. We have lost all of our usual income streams so now we need your help so we can help you!
About the Project Creator
We are a Registered Charity based in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire and have been established for over 30 years. Our Aims and Objectives are all based around community support and development. Our main services are:
Community Hub - we run a building which has room and office hire available to community groups and charities. It has a Resource Centre, communal kitchen, garden, bookshare and information area.
Community Transport - Our volunteers take residents to hospital and GP appointments, shopping, day centres and clubs 7 days a week. We also have a community minibus for hire and we organise social and shopping trips.
Volunteer Centre - We can match people looking for volunteer opportunities to local organisations needing volunteers. This can just be signposting or we can offer a more supportive service.
Community Development - We run several projects working with local partners and residents to reduce social isolation, increase skills and confidence.
Community Training - We offer courses to 16-24 year olds in Maths, English and Employability; improving skills for adults, First Aid, Safeguarding, Volunteer Management and Mentoring.
Since March we have developed new services to help those in the community affected by Covid 19. We are running this campaign as we have lost 90% of our income streams since March and need to find some funds to keep the charity afloat.
