About

Representation & Supporting Initiatives

BPRCVS represents the local communities and residents of Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale.
We actively support the development of initiatives aiming to improve the lives of our local communities.
Our members and participants help us to develop a network for knowledge and information to enable the voice of the sector. This is especially important for the smaller VCF organisations who can struggle to be heard.
BPRCVS attends strategic and community networks regularly so that we can stay informed on future plans and developments and in turn provide the relevant representation and support to communities and residents.

To provide high quality services that promote and support effective and sustainable voluntary and community action in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale and the surrounding areas.

We strongly believe that pursuing the mission will result in BPRCVS achieving the vision of a vibrant voluntary, community and faith sector that is active and integral in the Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale regions and surrounding areas.
