Croydon Voluntary Action

CVA’s principal activity is to promote charitable purposes for the benefit

CVA carries out its leadership role by developing a more significant role for VCOs in the life of the borough and by supporting local people to represent their community’s interests and to negotiate on its behalf. CVA’s mission statement focuses the organisation on “promoting, supporting and developing effective voluntary action, community development and community activity for the benefit of the whole community within the London Borough of Croydon.” As the critical local umbrella infrastructure body serving all Croydon’s communities, we run a wide range of services for small groups, social enterprises, larger charities and volunteers at all stages of development.
