General Help
The role of funding advice functions within the County based Voluntary Sector Infrastructure organisations (i.e. Voluntary Actions or CVS's) is currently under review. From April 1st 2009, Voluntary Action Leicestershire (previously Voluntary Action Leicester) will be the single infrastructure organisation for Leicestershire, with the 'district-based' CVS's providing additional support. Therefore, the contact details below are subject to change, and revised details will be provided once the structures and functions (primarily related to funding advice and community development) have been confirmed.
