About us

Hackney CVS is a local infrastructure organisation (LIO), and we support voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations located in, or serving communities living, working, or studying within the London Borough of Hackney and the City of London (City & Hackney).

We have three core functions:

• Giving a voice to the City and Hackney VCS and seldom-heard communities, empowering them to inform, shape, and influence decisions affecting residents.
• Providing a bridge to connect VCS organisations and residents with each other, and with statutory partners.
• Ensuring the VCS thrives, by building the capacity of the VCS through training, 1:1 support, and by leveraging resources, financial and otherwise, for the sector.

Strategy 2023-2028

Our new strategy sets out our vision and approach for creating a resilient voluntary and community sector, resourced, and equipped to support local communities to thrive.

We co-produced our new strategy over the course of a year and this process helped us to identify our strategic goals for 2023-2028.

We launched A Fairer Society at our office in Dalston on 19 July 2023 – photos below.
