Last week marked a new chapter for Bexley Voluntary Service Council as we began supporting Greenwich’s voluntary, community and faith sector. We’re proud to be building on the strong legacy of GAVS and working alongside you through 2026–27 to strengthen local impact.

As we settle into this new role, things may feel a little different over the next few weeks, but our commitment to supporting the sector hasn’t changed — thank you for bearing with us.

We look forward to meeting you in the coming weeks and months. In the interim, if you need support get in touch at [email protected]
