ABOUT US
Erewash Voluntary Action - CVS (EVA) is a local charity which supports voluntary and community groups, encouraging them to develop their activities and grow as organisations.
EVA is involved in strategic partnerships with statutory agencies working to improve health, education and local authority services. We strive to develop new initiatives for the benefit of the local community.
We offer a wide range of training opportunities for groups
EVA promotes the work of voluntary and community groups in Erewash at a county and regional level, often being consulted on issues and policies affecting the local community by national, regional, local government and other statutory agencies.
Our Volunteer Centre also promotes volunteering. We publicise opportunities, recruit and train volunteers for both local groups and for our own projects.
