Welcome to Watford CVS
Welcome

Our aim is to strengthen the voluntary sector in Watford through leadership, support, advice and example.

Our vision is of an outstanding voluntary sector that is valued by a prosperous, vibrant, diverse and successful community.

Our trustees (who govern the charity) are entirely elected by our members: voluntary organisations active within Watford and making a positive contribution to local democracy, the environment and the quality of life.

Since we were founded in 1974, Watford CVS has been at the heart of community activity in Watford and has played a significant part in the development of many important local voluntary services.
