Representation and Strategic Work

Promoting the role and value of the Voluntary Sector
Publicising the work of the VCS and promoting their value is done through:

• Organising the ‘Community Spirit’ column in the Hartlepool Mail.
• Publishing HVDA News, a regular newsletter, 6 times a year for the local voluntary sector.
• Providing a directory of voluntary and community organisations on the Web.
• Undertaking research on the value of the VCS locally.
• Campaigning on issues such as keeping a Hartlepool Primary Care Trust.

'Straight Through’ Money Service
Occasionally a group awarded grant funding may have difficulty accepting it either because it does not as yet have its own bank account or is not a registered charity.  HVDA can act as an intermediary body in these circumstances, receiving grants on a group’s behalf.
