About Us

Vale Volunteers is now part of Community Impact Bucks, a county wide organisation which supports and promotes voluntary activity, communities and rural groups across Buckinghamshire.  We work with charities, rural and community groups and not-for-profit organisations. 

We offer a raft of services to help organisations develop, thrive and deliver their own services more effectively and operate as a Council for Voluntary Service.  One of our major services is finding volunteers for organisations.  Through the Volunteer Centre Bucks we help with recruitment, development and promotion of volunteering opportunities.

Through Opportunities for All, a service funded by Vale of Aylesbury Community Chest, we give extra support to people in Aylesbury Vale who need assistance to get started as a volunteer. 

Across the county, with funding from the Big Lottery we work with employers to develop and encourage volunteering through the Volunteer Workout project and provide support to improve their ability of local organisations to access new commissioning opportunities through the Building Bucks project.

Interim Expert Volunteers is a project which invites senior executives, managers and skilled professionals to join an "Expert Volunteers Panel". Following a focused induction and orientation programme, panel members are linked to short-term ‘assignments’ through which they share their knowledge, skills and experience with voluntary and community organisations and new projects.  This project is funded from Bucks Strategic Partnership till March 2011

Our Gardening Services are delivered by volunteers to people who cannot maintain their own gardens.  The admin funding and referrals to this project come primarily from Bucks County Council and Vale of Aylesbury Housing Trust.
