About this cause

CVG exists to support the voluntary sector in Caithness by representing and supporting voluntary groups and individuals interested in or actively volunteering, facilitating co-operation, and enabling citizens to access the decision making processes affecting their community. It aims to present the common policies and concerns of voluntary organisations, to develop new ways of responding to need in partnership with statutory and other health, social work, education, environmental and recreation agencies and others concerned with the social and economic regeneration of the area. We are involved with volunteer development, development of social enterprise and support the third sector with a community plan.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We will bring lonely and isolated older people together to talk and interact with each other this will improve the emotional and social well-being of older adults in the community. We will assist those who are currently socially excluded to take a more active part in their community, through decision making and taking ownership of their groups. We will offer an opportunity to engage volunteers.
