Redcar & Cleveland Voluntary Development Agency (RCVDA) are seeking two new team members
Application deadline: Monday, 8 November, 2021 – 17:30
Since it was formed in 1984, RCVDA has been at the heart of community activity in the borough of Redcar & Cleveland playing a significant part in the development of the many community and voluntary groups throughout the borough.
Redcar & Cleveland Voluntary Development Agency is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee, governed by a board of Trustees. We are an independent organisation supporting the development of the voluntary and community sector locally through our core functions of Services and support, Development work, Strategic partnerships, Representation, Liaison
However, this does not tell the full story of RCVDA. Over the last three years, we have developed a variety of projects to benefit the wider community both in house and in our sister Community Interest Company and we have more in the pipeline.
