 THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY OF SDVS
“The principal activity and objective is to promote any charitable activity for the benefit of the community in Staffordshire and the West Midlands, with particular reference to the Borough of Stafford”. (Charitable Objects, in our governing document).
SDVS does this by bringing together organisations within the Third Sector and by linking the voluntary, statutory and private sectors with the five functions of services and support, liaison, representation, development and strategic partnership that all infrastructure organisations try to undertake.
