Councils of Voluntary Services (CVS) is the generic name for the local infrastructure bodies for the voluntary sector in Scotland. They strengthen the contribution local voluntary organisations make to the economic, social and cultural development of the community and provide a bridge between the sector and key public agencies at a local level . There are 60 CVS throughout Scotland, in both urban and rural areas, and they are aligned to community planning boundaries either on an individual or a federal basis. Their role in co-ordinating and supporting the work of the local voluntary sector and in building ever-stronger links with the national network, creates a lively forum for discussion and exchange of ideas, making CVS a powerful force for positive change both locally and nationally. CVS are themselves voluntary organisations and draw their membership from voluntary and community groups in their own area. The range and variety of individual organisations is enormous, as is the range of services they provide.
