What are voluntary, community and charitable organisations?
The voluntary and community sector (often referred to as the VCS) is made up of a wide range of organisations and groups. The type of groups that make up the sector includes charities (registered and unregistered), community groups, community interest companies, friendly societies, social clubs, many sports clubs, churches and other faith groups, and voluntary organisations.
Across Nottinghamshire there is a large network of voluntary, community and charitable organisations that can possibly support you and your family.
They offer a wide range of services that are targeted at specific ages or groups of individuals as well as those which are open to all.
