News from Denbighshire Voluntary Services Council




In a climate where fear is spreading fast, we want to spread a message of kindness,
hope and community spirit. We are heartened by the voluntary action and community
spirit through Denbighshire and elsewhere that we are already seeing.

Thank you for stepping up as #DenbighshireVolunteers!

Following the statement made by the government on Monday, all DVSC events will be
cancelled with immediate effect and for the foreseeable future. 
This includes our
Spring Funding Fair scheduled for March 25 and the #DenbighshireVolunteers Third Sector
Network meeting planned for April 1st. 

All our resource is focused on mobilising the
#COVID19 Volunteer Community Response. 


Our next round of community grants will be brought forward and launch
on April 1 
so that individuals, community groups and organisations can
get funding for initiatives to help residents most affected. Grant criteria
will be relaxed to enable individuals running small businesses to apply
with activities that support their community.


Follow us on social media for the latest updates and to find out about
other emergency funding initiatives.

We are working with our local statutory partners,
Third Sector Support Wales partners,
Welsh Government and the voluntary and
community sector in Denbighshire to place
volunteers where they are most needed.

We would be grateful if you share the plans or
information that you are aware of with us,
so we can act as the coordinating hub
and
guide people to resources and networks close to them.
