Comment: | The National Council for Voluntary Youth Services (NCVYS) is the independent voice of the voluntary youth sector in England. A diverse network of over one hundred and sixty national voluntary youth organisations and regional and local youth networks, NCVYS has been working since 1936 to support voluntary and community organisations that work with young people.
NCVYS co-ordinates, through its members, five hundred thousand paid and voluntary workers who provide direct support to approximately five million young people. They aim to:
influence public policy that impacts on young people and their voluntary organisations;
improve the quality of work with young people by developing , supporting and promoting best practice and standards;
raise and maintain the the profile of both NCVYS as a network and of voluntary and community organisations with young people.
NCVYS is financed through the efforts of their members, grants from government, the Community Fund, business and trusts. |
