Support with Volunteers

Volunteers bring incredible energy and value to your organisation, creating opportunities for growth and community impact. Managing volunteers well can make all the difference, ensuring everyone involved feels supported and inspired.

Helping organisations better recruit and engage volunteers.

With over 90 years of experience supporting the voluntary sector, we understand that volunteers can be a game-changer for community projects, charities, and local initiatives. Whether you’re a small grassroots organisation or a larger charity, involving volunteers can enhance your capacity, bring fresh ideas, and foster community engagement.

Why Involve Volunteers?

Volunteers bring diverse skills and perspectives that can significantly enrich your organisation. From administrative support to hands-on project roles, the right volunteers can help you achieve your goals while also creating a sense of community ownership.

At VAS, we provide support to help you identify your volunteer needs, recruit effectively, and manage your volunteer workforce. Our aim is to ensure that both your organisation and the volunteers have a rewarding experience.
