Hackney Council For Voluntary Service

We at Hackney CVS are dedicated to empowering local charities and community groups to address the long-term challenges faced by City and Hackney residents. Through our projects, events, and training programs, we strive to create sustainable and financially viable solutions that contribute to a fairer society. Our work focuses on supporting local nonprofit organizations in finding solutions to health and social inequalities, with a particular emphasis on addressing issues faced by children/young people, elderly/old people, people with disabilities, and people of a particular ethnic or racial origin. We have recently received MATCH funding to embed anti-racist commissioning principles, furthering our commitment to addressing health inequalities and promoting inclusivity within our community.

Our efforts have resulted in tangible impact, as evidenced by the successful implementation of projects such as the Community Achievement Awards and initiatives aimed at challenging ageism and isolation among older people. Additionally, our work in promoting diversity and facilitating conversations within neighborhoods has contributed to fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment for all residents. Through our partnerships and funding opportunities, we continue to support and uplift the voices of marginalized communities, ultimately working towards creating a more equitable and just society for all.
