As the General Election approaches, Volunteering England has launched its manifesto and a Volunteering Pledge to encourage MPs and candidates to show their support for volunteering.
We need your help so that locally and nationally MPs and candidates are aware of the difference volunteering is making and are committed to supporting volunteers and volunteering organisations after the election.
