About Us

About Us

Peterborough Council for Voluntary Service (PCVS) was set up in 1980 as an umbrella and network organisation for the local voluntary sector. We are a registered charity (Charity Number 299823, Company Number 02119687). More than 40 years later, we still provide essential support to the Peterborough community and our members.

PCVS supports individuals and community groups to live better lives. We run a variety of services aimed at improving health and wellbeing, building individuals and groups’ ability to help some of the most excluded members of society, and providing the skills and support needed for many charities and community groups, big and small, to thrive.

By uniting, strengthening Peterborough’s voluntary, community sector, and championing our members and their work, we help to make the sector’s impact greater than the sum of its parts and improve the quality of life for people across the city.
