Hello and welcome to the TCVS web
site 'Tendring Community Voluntary Services' is run by
the local community to support, promote and develop voluntary and
community action.
This can be as simple
as holding network breakfasts, or drop in coffee mornings to help build community links, or organising
fundraising events such as the ever popular Annual Victorian Christmas Market.
Through our resource
centre in central Clacton we also offer advice and information,
regular newsletters packed with charity information, beach hut hire, volunteer training,
and also two Meeting
Rooms available to hire at
reasonable rates to local groups.
Visit the Events
page for a list of upcoming events in the Tendring Area, and see the
Services and Resource
Centre pages for more details on
the services we provide.
We hope you
enjoy the site and value feed back. Please contact us via the contact
page with your comments and opinions.
