| | WHAT IS HALTON VOLUNTARY ACTION? | Halton Voluntary Action (HVA) is a local
voluntary sector development agency (often
called a Council for Voluntary Service -
CVS), which aims to develop, support and
promote voluntary action within the local
authority district of Halton. It is part of the
National Association of Councils for
Voluntary Service. | | | | Halton CVS was established by local voluntary organisations in Halton and became a registered charity in 1985. In 1992 it became a charitable company and changed its name to Halton Voluntary Action. In 1998 HVA moved into the Old Police Station. Originally its main aims centred on health and social welfare issues. Recently it has become involved in local authority led Economic Regeneration Partnerships - actively promoting the value of involving individuals, voluntary organisations and community groups in sustainable regeneration. | | | There is an Executive Committee which comprises fifteen members elected from membership organisations. There is also a Finance and General Purposes Sub-committee made up of members of the Executive Committee. | | Membership is open to any voluntary organisation or community group in the Halton district.
