About us

Gosport Voluntary Action (GVA), a registered Charity, is the umbrella body (Council of Voluntary Services) for Gosport and surrounding areas.  It provides help and support to over 200 local, voluntary and community groups in the Borough, that need help with governance issues, finding funding, recruiting and managing volunteers and accessing training.  It also represents member group interests at a wide range of strategic meetings.

GVA also is passionate about improving the quality of life for all residents of Gosport but in particular those with disabilities or who are disadvantaged in some way.

Integrity – we are open and honest and do all we can to put the interest of our members, volunteers and the wider voluntary sector first.

Innovation – we pride ourselves on being creative about trying out new ideas in order to meet changing needs in the community by running pilots or testing new ways of delivering services.

Collaboration – we work with our partners, our member organisations and wider stakeholders to achieve the best possible results we can.
