Hot Desk Facility
SAVO recognises
that a vital element of voluntary sector capacity
building is related to access to and the use
of ICT. There has been a consistent demand from
representatives of new groups and individuals
seeking to set up; emerging groups; and established
voluntary sector organisations in the London
Borough of Southwark for a range of computer-related
assistance. For new and emerging groups this
is typically desk space and computer resources.
Are you a new or emerging group
without premises?
Do you require a temporary desk
space with an internet enabled PC?
If you answered yes to these
questions please contact Seyi on 020 7358 4174
or via email seyi@savo.org.uk
to discuss how SAVO can help.

SAVO is Southwark's Council for Voluntary
Service.
Launched in 1999, SAVO is a democratic
organisation, independent of Southwark Council. Affiliated
members, drawn from the 1,600 voluntary and community
groups and projects in the borough, guide our work.
We support voluntary and
community action by:
- providing a framework for policy
development
- providing information
- building the capacity of groups
- seeking representation on key committees,
partnerships and working groups
- facilitating networking and communication
in the sector
developing shared agendas and common goals.
