Volunteer Centre Aylesbury Vale

Vale Volunteers is the Council for Voluntary Service for the Aylesbury Vale District of Buckinghamshire. We work to support, develop and promote the local voluntary and community sector.

 

We are members of the National Association of Councils for Voluntary Service (NACVS) and of Volunteering England, and we operate within their quality standards. Our aim is to offer organisations and individuals the highest standards of service.

 

Through our integrated Volunteer Centre we offer member organisations a volunteer brokerage service, as well as advice on the key issues of good practice, promoting your opportunities and retaining volunteers.
Further information is available by contacting us.

Volunteer brokerage

• We keep accurate records of your volunteer needs and promote those needs through the appropriate media.
• We identify potentially suitable volunteers and assign them roles. As needed, these details are passed onto you.
• With the client's permission, we will also pass on any relevant information supplied to us in guidance sessions.
• We will provide opportunities for you to promote your organisation and recruit your own volunteers.

A comprehensive resource with information on all aspects of good practice for voluntary organisations, including retaining your volunteers, how to promote your opportunities, employee volunteering and youth volunteering, is available at

Employee Volunteering

Vale Volunteers works with businesses of all sizes and types to encourage
and promote employee volunteering. We can advise on and help organise
one-off team building exercises which take place over a day or two, assist
with setting up relationships between companies and voluntary groups to
benefit both parties, and enable employees to give time to many worthwhile
community activities. Contact us for more details of employee volunteering.
