CVC and the Community is CVC's network-wide philanthropy programme that aims to improve the lives and prospects of children and young people in the local communities and those touched by CVC's portfolio companies. The programme focuses on four areas where CVC's donations, skills and knowledge can make the most impact: Education, Employability, Enterprise and Venture Philanthropy. At the same time on any one day you might find CVC people helping a child with their maths and reading, building up a young person's confidence, or running a CV writing workshop - all focused on giving the next generation a step up.
