Hackney Council for Voluntary Service

Hackney CVS is a local infrastructure organisation (LIO), and we support voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations located in, or serving communities living, working, or studying within the London Borough of Hackney and the City of London (City & Hackney).

We have three core functions:

Giving a voice to the City and Hackney VCS and seldom-heard communities, empowering them to inform, shape, and influence decisions affecting residents.
Providing a bridge to connect VCS organisations and residents with each other, and with statutory partners.
Ensuring the VCS thrives, by building the capacity of the VCS through training, 1:1 support, and by leveraging resources, financial and otherwise, for the sector.

This pilot programme launched in June 2024. The fund was co-designed by community members, the EPIC Health Team, and City &amp; Hackney Population Health Hub to explore alternative, anti-racist approaches to health commissioning. The fund’s design and priorities were shaped through workshops held between September 2023 and March 2024. Delivered by six community organisations, the programme supported young people aged 12–25 with opportunities for growth, healing, and connection.<a href="https://hcvs.org.uk/antiracistcommissioning/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to learn more about their projects.</a> The event will feature: Young participants, facilitators, community leaders &amp; creative showcases More details will be shared once confirmed.
