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.
