Liaison

Sunderland CVS develops and helps maintain links with a wide range of voluntary and community organisations. These include user organisations and those representing the diverse communities which exist in and around the City of Sunderland.

In addition, the task of SCVS is to promote cross-sector relationships including those with the relevant local authority departments (not just social services), the partners identified as key partners to the Local Strategic Partnership, Health Authority, Sunderland TPCT, Social Services, University of Sunderland, City of Sunderland College, Social Enterprise Sunderland, Police authority, Sunderland Housing Group, and other public agencies operating within its locality and the business world.
