SAVS is an independent charity known as a council for voluntary service or CVS. That means we work behind the scenes to help local charities and community groups achieve their full potential.

Sector Representation
Researching, collating and championing the voice of the community in Southend to help implement change.

Funding & Capacity Building
Full support to all members in establishing, running and growing their organisation including funding guidance and training.

Networking & Promotion
Sharing and celebrating the work of the Voluntary Sector with physical events, digital marketing and social media.

We also run a number of community based projects, supporting residents from expectant mums all the way up to the over 65s.
