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 23,000 volunteers and 115,000 beneficiaries every year through more than a 100 active programmes across the UK.

Founded in 1962 (and known as Community Service Volunteers until 2015), Volunteering Matters has been leading UK volunteering in policy and practice for more than 50 years. We know, through years of successful work, that investing in people through the power of volunteering makes a tangible difference to the volunteer, the beneficiary and society as a whole. Our volunteer programmes help to improve health and wellbeing; build stronger, more inclusive communities; and achieve lasting results.

We believe that everyone can play a role in their community and should have the chance to participate; we build projects and programmes to reflect this. We focus on the needs of four distinct communities; young people, disabled people, families and older people.
