About Us

Brentwood Community and Voluntary Service (BCVS) was formed in 1993 as a registered charity with the primary aim of supporting voluntary and community sector (VCS) organisations in Brentwood Borough. We do this by providing advice, training and information for individuals and groups, including advice on fundraising and support for finding volunteers.

Over the last decade our service offer has diversified including the establishment of Brentwood Volunteer Hub, a dedicated funding service. More recently with our move to Merrymeade House, we have established a Community and Wellbeing Hub to support local residents - you can find out more about the activities we provide here.
