Helping organisations, improving lives

PAVO is the County Voluntary Council for Powys, supporting the third sector across the county.

We’re committed to providing vital services to empower third sector organisations and improve people's lives.

We do this by acting as a CATALYST for voluntary action, a legitimate VOICE for Powys’ communities and third sector, and a HUB of essential information.

Third Sector Support Wales.

PAVO is part of the Third Sector Support Wales, a network of support organisations for the whole of the third sector in Wales. It consists of the 19 local and regional County Voluntary Councils (PAVO is a County Voluntary Council) and the national support body, Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA).

As Third Sector Support Wales, we work with people, volunteers and third sector groups to identify and address what matters to them. To achieve our shared goals, we collaborate with other key partners across the third sector, the public sector, business, research and funders.
