"I find the monthly newsletters keep me informed of new legislation and developments within the sector, are accessible and user friendly"

Alison Cragg, Volunteer Coordinator - York Blind & Partially Sighted Society

“At Volunteering England we want to be able to count on your membership and support so we can work together in representing the volunteering movement nationally. We are establishing stronger dialogues with and between volunteering infrastructure, volunteer involving organisations, policy-makers and other national agencies, and we would like you to be involved.”

Justin Davis Smith, Chief Executive - Volunteering England

“As a Volunteering Manager within a Higher Education Institution (HEI) being a member of Volunteering England is a crucial way of staying up-to-date with new initiatives and changes across the sector. Membership not only encourages us to share good practice, it hopefully promotes a better understanding of the needs of student volunteers which is vital to HEI’s placing students into the community”

Linda Davis, Manager - The Centre for Community Volunteering The University of Northampton
