We are part of CSV (Community Service Volunteers) and have been established as a training provider since 1981.

The Training and Enterprise division runs nine other training operations across the country. Other Springboards local to us are Springboard Hackney, Springboard Bromley and Springboard Islington. CSV is the UK’s leading volunteering agency and provides support and guidance to thousands of people each year across a range of programmes.

CSV was founded in 1962 by Mora and Alec Dickson, who also founded VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas). Their philosophy guides us today - everyone should be able to take part in the life of their community. Springboard Southwark is firmly committed to equal opportunities and operates an ‘open door’ policy - all learners are welcome to apply, whatever their ability or background.
