Welcome

Hull CVS Group is a multi-specialist organisation and encompasses the individual charitable and community organisations Hull CVS, Meeting New Horizons CIC and Rainbow Nursery Ltd.

Hull CVS as the parent organisation, is a registered charity that supports the development and sustainability of local charities and causes, as well as leading on volunteering development for Hull and delivering a range of projects to support local residents and communities. Our subsidiary arm, Meeting New Horizons also delivers a range of community projects but within the wider Yorkshire and Humber region. The addition of Rainbow Nursery to our Group has seen us extend our support to local residents through the delivery of high quality, community focussed early years provision.

Our core aim is to assist in the betterment of local communities through supporting other VCSE organisations working in the community, and by being involved in the design and delivery of new local support groups and programmes.
