Hull CVS website - good for the East Riding

THE HU12 WEBSITE aims to bring news and information that is useful to those actively involved in local communities. There are of course several organisations and websites already doing this. One very useful website to add to your "favourites" list is the Hull CVS website (designed by Media Blocks).

Whilst principally geared towards Hull, the CVS (Community and Voluntary Services) website is also very relevant to the East Riding. There are news items and notices from local, regional and national organisations and notification of key consultations taking place that are relevant to the voluntary sector.

Whilst the organisation has yet to realise the full potential of using Twitter, Facebook and social media, the Hull CVS does have an excellent e-newsletter highlighting what is new on the site. The latest is available at Newsletter, February 2011 (provided by ConstantContact). Note: Finding the Sign-up page for the e-newsletter on the website is currently problematic, however, you can sign up from previous newsletters.

In the East Riding, other useful 'infrastructure' websites worth bookmarking are:

• Humber & Wolds Rural Community Council
• East Riding Voluntary Action Services
