Volunteering England
Volunteering England is the National Volunteer Development Agency for England which came into operation on 1 April 2004. The agency was formed as a result of the coming together of The Consortium on Opportunities for Volunteering, The National Centre for Volunteering and Volunteer Development England. Volunteering England works to promote volunteering as a powerful force for change, both for those who volunteer and for the wider community.
