A council for Voluntary Service supporting the voluntary and community sector of the New Forest district.

Our Mission

We are a not-for-profit umbrella organisation which supports and promotes the sustainable development of the local voluntary and community sector. By building relationships, fostering partnerships and delivering quality services, we aim to improve quality of life and assist in the development of diverse, strong communities primarily in the New Forest district. We work towards removing barriers to social inclusion by working with communities and individuals who may be socially disadvantaged, vulnerable and isolated.

Introduction

Formed in 1988 we extended our operational area in the mid-nineties to include the whole New Forest district. Today, as Community First New Forest we provide the core functions of a Council for Voluntary Service. We also provide a number of services that seek to improve the quality of life for people and communities. Please browse this web site and explore how we may be able to help you.

... building relationships, enabling action!
