Thinking about a database for your CVS?

I've just been talking to someone from a CVS about upgrading their database and along the way I was pointed at a very handy guide on the NAVCA website. Getting to know your local voluntary and community sector toolkit encourages a standardised and common approach to producing a local voluntary and community sector database and profiling the sector in local areas.

It's a useful overview that may give you a broader view of what is possible and what is going on in other parts of the country. The Appendices are also worth downloading, if only for Appendix Five which offers a list of places to look for further help if you need it. Anyone working in a Local Infrastructure Organistaion in the south east region is also welcome to contact me if they have any questions about databases, membership directories and related websites.
