Lincolnshire Council for Voluntary Youth Services is a membership organisation that provides support services to those working with children and young people across Lincolnshire. Our goal is to help build a brighter future for them and act as the voice of the Voluntary Sector of the Youth Services in Lincolnshire on behalf of voluntary and community youth organisations including main uniformed organisations as well as individual, independent youth groups and those providing a service or facility for young people.

• Provides opportunities to share information, expertise and experience through regular meetings, forums, mailings and networking opportunities.
• Provide access to CRB checks.
• Signposting to valuable information on resources, policies and funding opportunities.
• Signposting to information on activities for young people.
