Volunteering Matters

Our vision is of a society where everyone can participate in their local community through volunteering and social action.

We develop and deliver high impact volunteer-led solutions across the UK in response to some of the most difficult challenges facing individuals and their communities today. We engage more than 30,000 volunteers and 103,000 beneficiaries every year through 180 active programmes across the UK.

Our work empowers disabled people to lead independent lives, offers security and stability to families and children, helps young people find their direction in life and enables older people to maintain their health and wellbeing.
