Manning Valley Neighbourhood Services Inc. (MVNS) is a community development organisation – we are well linked and networked.

We have a broad networking capacity on the Mid North Coast as part of participation in regional and inter-regional forums.  A very important aspect of what we do is “partnership projects” – that is working with other organisations or groups that have similar aims to meet the needs of a common client group or groups of service users.

The Manning Valley Neighbourhood Services Inc. Manager and other project workers are members of many committees and working groups. This provides an opportunity to link with other services and to share and develop resources and skills.  Some of our current network capacity and resourcing activities:
