Bath & North East Somerset CVS

B&NES CVS is a support service for all voluntary and community sector organisations in Bath and North East Somerset. Our core work is to support and develop voluntary organisations, community groups and charities who operate within Bath and NE Somerset.

 

Doorway Project

Doorway is a charity drop-in centre in Chippenham, North Wiltshire providing a friendly, safe place for adults who are homeless or who have complex issues, such as debt, mental health problems, substance use or poor life skills which are likely to affect their ability to acquire or sustain a tenancy. We believe that homeless and marginalised adults are capable of change and will only achieve their full potential when offered a safe, supportive, empowering and non-judgemental environment which will help reverse the downward spiral of homelessness.

 

Wellbeing Centre

The Wellbeing Centre is a brand new project of CVS North Wilts and is the brainchild of two local practitioners, Karen Scott and Jess Wilks who wanted to make the complementary treatments they provide more affordable and available to local people, especially those in the Voluntary and Community Sector and their clients. Although still in its infancy, the Centre has a warm, peaceful ambience and is in an ideal location for people to meet with their complementary health practitioner in a private and comfortable room.
