About Torfaen Voluntary Alliance
Torfaen Voluntary Alliance (TVA) is the County Voluntary Council for Torfaen. We are a Membership Organisation open to all voluntary and community organisations and social enterprises in Torfaen and the surrounding area. Membership is free.
We are an independent organisation and registered charity, but we work closely with other CVCs and Welsh Government through the national Third Sector Support Wales network to advocate for the sector. We also work closely with our statutory partners in Gwent to deliver the “Fairer Gwent” objectives.
TVA are governed by a highly skilled, dedicated, professional Board who ensure that the executive team are effectively managed, scrutinised, and governed to the highest standard with robust policies and procedures in place.
Overall, we aim to support the community and voluntary sector to grow whilst helping our member organisations to achieve their unique objectives. We do this by empowering, enabling, and brokering relationships between our members, volunteers, companies, and government.
