What people are saying about LCVS group support…
If you get the foundations right, for any organisation, you have got something that is going to be strong for the long term and that’s what LCVS has enabled us to do. We have got those foundations in place.
Julie HarwinThese events create an opportunity to pause and think about what we are doing and why and how we are doing it.
“Often we are so busy getting the job done that we don’t stand back and wonder how we might do it better.
Annie HallWithout the professional guidance of LCVS, their dedicated time and care, it is highly unlikely we would have achieved these grants.
