The Vision for Volunteering is a ten-year project designed to create a better future for volunteering, setting out what it needs to look like and how volunteers will feel about their roles.

At our next Volunteer Managers’ Network meeting on the 9 May (10am-12pm), we will be discussing Vision for Volunteering – the principles outlined in the Vision, how to turn it into reality and what our next steps could be.
