Community Development in Restormel/North Cornwall
What is Community Development?
Community development is about building active and sustainable communities based on social justice and mutual respect. It is about changing power structures to remove the barriers that prevent people from participating in the issues that affect their lives.
East Cornwall CVS has established a dynamic community development service with a team of experienced and dedicated community development officers. They have enabled local communities, through their community groups and voluntary organisations, to increase their capabilities for effective action.

Governance
For the past twelve months ECCVS has been delivering training on Governance issues for Trustees and those working to support the Trustees of Voluntary Sector organisations in Cornwall under a project funded by the Change-Up programme. The training concentrated on various aspects of the Trustees role within the organisations and covered topic such as:
- Roles and responsibilities of Trustees
- Relevant organisational structures
- Effective meetings
This particular project has now come to a close, but during the project Anna Hoyle the Fieldwork Manager was asked to become a member of the National Governance Hub. This allows ECCVS to make sure that the voice of the Trustees within rural areas is heard at a National strategic level.
