Staff at Voluntary and Community Action We are here to help!

Voluntary and Community Action is committed to strengthening the effectiveness of the voluntary and community sector in Bedfordshire by developing, enabling, promoting and supporting local voluntary and community action.

We seek to achieve this through: advocacy; capacity building activities; enhancing the provision of volunteering opportunities; the exchange of information; the provision of training, advice and consultancy and by working in partnership with others. See Our Services for more information.

 

Helping is Volunteering


A recent survey revealed that just 13 per cent of people volunteer about once a week but Volunteer Centre Central Bedfordshire believes the true figure is much higher.

Lucy Crayk, Volunteer Centre Manager, and her team have been out and about in Leighton Buzzard, talking to local residents.

“We’ve found that many people don’t think of themselves as volunteers but when you get to talking, it turns out they help at their children’s school, with the football club, or at church.

Who's Who in Central Bedfordshire Council

We have been asked by voluntary organisations to let them know who the key local authority officers will be in the new Central Bedfordshire Council. The information, which is now being uploaded to our website, includes a description of the departmental services as well as the names, job titles, telephone numbers and email addresses of key staff. We will continue to update these details as new information becomes available.
