HVDA's Work
In order for local groups to deliver their services effectively, Voluntary Sector Local Development Agencies have been established throughout the country to provide support and advice. In Hartlepool this work is undertaken by Hartlepool Voluntary Development Agency (HVDA).
Through HVDA groups are able to access appropriate advice and information on a wide range of issues from charitable status, to managing a group, raising funds or developing meaningful partnerships with other agencies. With this help, groups can flourish and expand their services and/or activities to the community. HVDA encourages voluntary action in a number of ways:
- Working with volunteers.
- Supporting and developing voluntary and community organisations including access to funding.
- Building links between voluntary organisations and developing partnerships with other agencies.
- Promoting the role and value of the voluntary sector.
In September 2007 a survey was carried in Hartlepool's Voluntary and Community Sector's by HVDA on their view on HVDA's services. In total 95 surveys were completed and returned to HVDA with an average satisfaction score of 82%. The survey and responding to your views documents can be downloaded from HVDA's section on downloadable documents or alternatively if you require a copy sending, please contact Andrea Fletcher, Operations and Personnel Officer at HVDA on 01429 262641.
