They were looking for a way to make sure their policies were all up to date, and making sure that their charity had the right forms of governance documents in place. Some really valued the AVOW payroll service, and others really valued the Health and Wellbeing Network by AVOW.<\/p>\n<p>The work of a charity or a charitable organisation is too valuable to our society to find themselves struggling with these important, but incredibly complex tasks. That\u2019s why the County Voluntary Councils (CVC) exist. They are a physical manifestation of the acknowledgement of just how important it is that this valuable work doesn\u2019t grind to a halt chasing the next small grant, but can flourish. All of these services are available to every charity or charitable organisation in Wales through their local CVC.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AVOWWrexham\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> AVOW<\/a> is Wrexham\u2019s County Voluntary Council.
