(HVC) provides a comprehensive service to all volunteer-involving organisations and volunteers
Our goal is to promote volunteering opportunities that have a positive impact on volunteers, charities and the community and we firmly believe that volunteering enriches lives, enhances local services and increases cohesion in the community.
Why the community needs usVolunteering makes a significant and irreplaceable contribution to the local economy. Volunteering is an important expression of citizenship and can help build community cohesion. Volunteering is a mutual exchange, where the volunteer, organisation and community all benefit. We strive to eliminate barriers to volunteering and enable people facing disadvantage or discrimination to volunteer.
Our impact on the communityHVC has been in operation for just over a year and we have over 800 volunteers on our books and have successfully placed over 500 volunteers into various front line organisations such as hospices, mental health charities, hospitals etc. We have held various community events to help Haverings Homeless Hostels and rough sleepers and this work will continue throughout the year. HVC has helped restore an unloved community garden and set up a friends of group to keep the restoration going.
