The Volunteers' Forum

The Volunteers’ Forum has been meeting since September 2003. It usually meets once a month and allows volunteers to get together and discuss ideas.

It aims to:

• Build the confidence of local resident volunteers.
• Be a place where volunteers can network.
• Be a space where volunteers can “have their say”.
• Discuss projects being developed locally.
• Plan and organise events and activities for volunteers.
• Be a place where volunteers can check out and challenge the regeneration process.
• Be a lobbying and campaigning group for better volunteer policy, procedures and practices.
• Create a united community spirit to tackle local problems and generate ideas.
• Be a catalyst for the career progression of local resident volunteers.
• Develop greater awareness of the needs of volunteers.

Anyone can be a member of the Volunteers’ Forum: we value everyone’s contribution equally and we want the Forum to be a focus for all local volunteers.
