Recipient Org: Description BIVC is an Information & Guidance Centre, we provide a range of services to the residents of Berinsfield and surrounding villages. We offer a drop-in advice on practically any issue; if we can not help then we can signpost to agencies that can. We rely totally on volunteers to function on a day to day basis; the dedication and commitment given by our workers is astounding and this contributes immensely to our success in working within the community. Volunteers are given relevant training designed to assist them in improving their skills, achieve personal or professional development and to add substance to their CV. We also offer training and support to enable volunteers to re-enter the workplace and progress in their own careers. BIVC is responsible for editing, producing and delivering the local newsletter ‘Your Village Voice’, to over 1200 homes and businesses in the village. We are now the main communication hub of the village and are trying to develop community building projects. Berinsfield is an urban village set in rural surroundings that brings its own set of problems. The village has over 4,000 residents a large proportion of which are on benefits or low wages, single parents or older people. The Information centre has been running for approx 39 years. The centre provides a place where people can discuss their problems in an informal atmosphere but obtain professional and knowledgeable assistance. This is open to surrounding villages as well. We provide advice on all aspects of benefits, pensions, housing, advocacy, debt advice, crisis intervention, outreach, driving scheme, local information, community activities and volunteer training, we also create and distribute a free local magazine.
