Welcome to BASILDON BOROUGH COMMUNITY NETWORK

Basildon Billericay and Wickford CVS (Council for Voluntary Service) was formed in 1989 as an independent registered charity that exists to promote, develop, support and represent a thriving, effective, voluntary and community sector in the borough.

Our work and mission

We are guided by values that promote equality of opportunity, participation, cooperation, partnership and democratic involvement. We support local voluntary and community action in order to combat poverty and disadvantage, and to improve the quality of life for all of our communities and citizens.

We do this by providing a range of services to meet the needs of voluntary and community organisations, helping those that are starting up, as well as organisations that are already established. 

We also encourage joint working between voluntary & community organisations, businesses, and the statutory sector. Whilst also promoting the interests and concerns of the VCS, ensuring they are well represented.

We think it is important to connect and with the development of technology, it is easier to do now than ever before. 

This network is primarily focused on our members, as we recognise that every one of them is vital within their communities and each has something to share. 

This network helps to be more aware of other organisations and the opportunities available, which can only result in more positive outcomes for yourselves, staff, volunteers and service users. We are passionate about change and we hope that you are willing to join us.

We want to thank every member who joins. Your support makes you and me become us. We can't wait to have you on board. You never know it might be what you have always been looking for, we hope so because you are helping us build it.
