The Council of Voluntary Welfare Work (CVWW) exists as an association of charitable organisations providing welfare services to the Armed Forces. Membership of CVWW does not impair the independence, initiatives and methods of work for any of the independent charities but does provide a link between the voluntary organisations and the Service Authorities, with whom there is a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
In 1951, the CVWW was granted a charter giving statutory support for its work with the Armed Forces. This was replaced in 2023 with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) sponsored on behalf of all three Services by the Director of Personnel (Army).
