SDVS provides support and development for local voluntary, community, charity, faith, social enterprise and similar not-for-personal-profit groups (often called "Voluntary and Community Sector" or "Civil Society" organisations). We work primarily in Stafford Borough and Staffordshire in the UK, but if you need our assistance or advice and you're outside that area, CONTACT US to see if we can help.

SDVS is a member of the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Consortium of Infrastructure Organisations (SCIO). SCIO members work closely together to ensure voluntary & community organisations receive the support they need. Click here to learn more about SCIO.
