Helping organisations, improving people's lives

Powys Association of Voluntary Organisations (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.
