Chelmsford CVS has a membership of 306 charities, voluntary and community groups, and social enterprises.  Our membership is representative of the variety and vibrancy of Chelmsford's voluntary sector - from Retirement Action Group to Youth Club, Art Society to Sport in the Community, Advocacy to Neighbourhood Watch. All working to deliver services and activities across the Chelmsford district.  For a complete listing of all our current members, please see the file attached at the bottom of this page.

Chelmsford CVS has worked in partnership to develop an online, searchable database of voluntary and community groups working to benefit the Chelmsford community.  The database is now available at: estic (opens in new window)

Application for membership of Chelmsford CVS is open to any voluntary or community group that operates in the district of Chelmsford, for the benefit of the population of Chelmsford.  There is no subscription fee, as we do not want to discourage those groups that have limited or no income.

Print off an application form at the bottom of this page and post it to us with a copy of your constitution and/or terms of reference and any literature about your group.  Your application indicates an acceptance of Chelmsford CVS Equal Opportunities Policy (print off a copy from the link below).

Membership is granted following approval of the application by the trustee board of Chelmsford CVS.  Churches and religious organisations can be considered for membership for their work in the community that is open to all, but not for their proselytising mission.
