A little bit about us

We are Bavs, formerly the Berwickshire Association for Voluntary Service. Scroll down to find out a bit more.

As an independent voluntary organisation, we’ve been helping community and voluntary groups since 1971, so you can be sure we know our stuff.

It’s good to be good.

Over the years, we’ve helped groups in the Berwickshire area with funding applications and governance issues, allowing projects that started out as an initial idea to become a reality and fill a need in the community.

Those of you with a keen eye may have noticed we also have three charity shops. Maybe you’ve seen our community transport service in action, too.

 We are proud of our people and causes!
