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.

We can offer help in a variety of ways:

• Individual support to organisations wanting to develop.
• Training workshops for trustees, staff and volunteers, or tailored training to suit your needs.
• Promoting your volunteering opportunities and providing help and advice on all aspects of volunteering.
• Information on a wide range of funding sources.
• Regular newsletter keeping you up to date with news and information from the sector.
• Raise the profile of your organisation through networking and partnership work.
