hvoss is your local voluntary and community sector support service..

hvoss provides information, guidance and support to volunteers, charities, voluntary and community groups in Herefordshire. All these organisations deliver public benefit and are not for profit. We are locally accountable to them through their membership of hvoss. We develop constructive commissioning arrangements and partnership working between our members and others seeking to positively support community life in the county.  

With your support we can continue to provide a range of support services, training, events and networking opportunities to meet your needs and to build cooperation and partnerships between our members and statutory bodies.

We believe in ...

Volunteering – Championing the vital and unique contribution made by volunteers in the county.

Independence - Voluntary organisations are distinctive, trusted and tackle problems independent of the state.

Membership – Driven by member needs. Involving members, frontline organisations and networks in all we do.

Collaboration – Working collectively to represent diverse interests & views.

Innovation and creativity – A belief that community and voluntary action provides solutions to many challenges we face.

Equality and diversity - Promoting the needs of under-represented or disadvantaged groups, including ‘quieter voices’ in the community.
