LDCVS exists to support, connect and champion the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector in Lancaster District. LDCVS aims: • to support the sector: incubating, developing and sustaining voluntary and community organisations and enabling them, in turn, to support the communities that they care about. • to connect the sector: forging links between individuals, communities and groups, and between the sector as a whole and other partners. • to champion the sector: ensuring that both its achievements and its challenges are recognised • to sustain ourselves as an organisation, and stay open to new learning. Our Values: As a responsive charity LDCVS believes that the voluntary community, faith and social enterprise sector plays a critical role in tackling poverty and disadvantage by working with key stakeholders to address local inequalities. As a sector champion we aim to deliver to the highest standards in all we do. We strive to challenge oppression and prejudice, to promote diversity and to work towards a society where full equality of opportunities for all is a reality. We work in North Lancashire.
