The Advocacy Charter
Sefton CVS
Waterloo-based Sefton CVS is an ideal first port of call for people
seeking sources of support in Sefton. CVS’s role is to promote and
assist the borough’s voluntary, community and faith (VCF) sector
by providing a wide range of services including information
and advice, training, organisational development support and
advice on key issues including funding, charity and company
registration, board development, business planning and equality
and diversity.
“Advocacy is taking action to help people say what they
want, secure their rights, represent their interests and obtain
services they need. Advocates and advocacy schemes work
in partnership with the people they support and take their side.
Advocacy promotes social inclusion, equality and social justice.”
Our purpose is to support older people in Sefton to get their
voices heard in decisions affecting their lives. We provide free,
independent and confidential advocacy services and promote
self-advocacy through our Older People’s Forum.
For more information on Sefton Pensioners’ Advocacy Centre,
please visit www.spac-advocacy.org.uk or contact on

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that accurate information is
provided in this directory, neither Volunteer Centre Sefton, Sefton
CVS, Sefton Pensioners’ Advocacy Centre, the board of directors
and Management Committee, the editors or contributors
undertake any liability for any error or omission.
As part of this role, Sefton CVS maintains a database of the details
of around 1,300 VCF sector organisations, services and projects
in the borough which can be used to signpost residents to the
groups that can help them.
CVS can access the information on this database by a variety
of criteria including area, type of support or theme (for example
advocacy or community safety) and potential service users (for
example groups that specialise in supporting older people or exservice personnel).
For more information on this and other services provided by
Sefton CVS ring 0151-920 0726 or visit www.seftoncvs.org.uk.
Sefton Helping Hand Services
Sefton Helping Hand collects donations of good quality furniture
and redistributes them to residents in need in the borough.
This service can be crucial to families on a limited income,
helping to improve their quality of life and reduce stress.
Redistributing furniture is also good for the environment,
preventing usable items from going to landfill.

In addition, the service only currently operates in the following

It’s really easy to access the SUB – just pop along to Parenting
2000 at Alexandra Mount and fill in a form.
However, only furniture in good condition can be accepted,
and upholstered items must have a label attached showing their
compliance to fire safety regulations.
Sefton Foodbanks
Every day people in Sefton go hungry for reasons that range from
being made redundant to receiving an unexpected bill on a low
income.
Sefton’s Foodbanks – run in partnership with national charity the
Trussell Trust – provide a minimum of three days emergency food
and support to people in this sort of crisis situation.
Care professionals such as doctors, health visitors and social
workers identify people who are in difficulties and issue them
with a voucher which can be exchanged for food at one of a
number of distribution centres.
The food at these centres comes from foodbank collection points
which are located in a number of supermarkets in the borough
where volunteers encourage customers to buy and donate items.
As this directory went to press foodbanks were operating
successfully in Southport, South Sefton and Crosby and plans
were in the pipeline to open a further foodbank in Maghull in
autumn 2013.
For more information contact Southport Foodbank on 01704
544419, Crosby Foodbank on 07580 156311, South Sefton
Foodbank on 0151 933 1300 or Sefton CVS on 0151 920 0726.
