Membership Benefits
Membership is open to all community groups and voluntary sector organisations who are based in or deliver services in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield.
Other Statutory and Private Sector organisations and individuals are also welcome to become members.
If your group, organisation or initiative is new and have a quick question, our “contact us with a question” service is free. This is an opportunity to ask a quick question that will not require further research or more in-depth support. E.g. Do we need to be a registered charity to apply for funding.
Join Welwyn Hatfield CVS today to access membership benefits and help us to continue to build and elevate the sector that plays a crucial role in creating strong, healthy communities.
All of our members must support the Welwyn Hatfield CVS ethos and Equal and Diversity policy.
(If you need help with any aspect of the membership process, our Chief Executive Officer is available)
