Volunteer Centres are local organisations providing support and expertise within the local community, to potential volunteers, existing volunteers and organisations that involve volunteers.
Volunteering England is working to secure and support an England-wide network of quality volunteer development agencies, promoting and enabling volunteering and community involvement.
| Volunteer Centres - The heart of volunteering 
Volunteering England has produced a diagram which illustrates the broad range of services volunteer centres provide. The diagram shows that centres are the beating heart of volunteering providing life blood to local communities. In the picture, as in reality, Centres link up with local business, current and potential volunteers, local decision makers, central government, those at risk of social exclusion, active citizens, and voluntary and community groups. It is designed to explain the vital role centres play in volunteering in a different way. Love or hate it? You decide! Some centres are already using it to explain their complex but vital role in local communities, it has already been used to influence central government. |
