Voluntary Sector Support Unit

The Voluntary Sector Support Unit gives support and advice to voluntary and community organisations working within the Reading Borough area. Our main role is to run the Council’s grants decision-making process. We also manage two community halls.

Reading Voluntary Action (RVA) and Council of Ethnic Minority Voluntary Sector Organisations (CEMVO) also both provide advice, information, infrastructure, support, training and fundraising advice to voluntary and community organisations.
