Volunteer Networking Forum

We're bringing volunteer organisations together to build their abilities and help them achieve child safe working and recreational environments.

The Cumberland Volunteer Community Sector Networking Forum (CVCSNF) works to improve collaboration and build capacity of the volunteer organisations within the Cumberland Local Government Area.
