community and voluntary service (CVS)


Explanation:
Or Voluntary Community Service (VCS), but this possibly means something slightly different. In the UK, we have many of these kinds of centres, organisations and services. There is no shortage of acronyms and full translations. Voluntary work is very popular.

Example sentence(s):
  • Rushcliffe Community and Voluntary Service supports community and voluntary groups
