ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT
DVSC is working on its own enterprise development and our ambition is to support Denbighshire to become a Social Enterprise Place.
Social Enterprise Places are areas where social enterprise activity is thriving and DVSC wants to make this happen across Denbighshire.
We are committed to investing in the sector, recognising achievements and offering support to grow, bringing together budding social entrepreneurs, alongside voluntary and community groups, charities, social enterprises, community interest companies and cooperatives with businesses and our public service partners to build markets for social enterprise.
DVSC is the delivery arm of Third Sector Support Wales in Denbighshire and we collaborate with other national partners including the Development Trust Association Wales, the Wales Cooperative Centre’s Social Business Wales Team and WCVA’s Social Investment Team to make sure we support and fast track members to access expert advice and support for enterprise development.

BECOME A SUPPORTER
Hello again … … today we have a small favour to ask. Volunteers, voluntary and community action and the third sector are at the heart of building more sustainable and resilient communities and we need them more than ever.
DVSC receives core funding from the Welsh Government but we need to raise more money so that we can continue to provide excellent sector support - whether you're a volunteer, voluntary and community group or a third sector organisation.
We can provide a wealth of information and resources and we want to keep our services as accessible as we can, and to reach as many groups as we can. So we think it’s fair to ask people who visit us often for their help - if they feel able to give it.
Our Sector Support service is resource intensive, but we are investing in it because we believe providing support to volunteers, voluntary and community groups, charities, social enterprises and community interest companies - has to be at the heart of what we do. If you like what we are about, and you want to help support it, our future would be much more secure.
