The Vision for Volunteering

The Vision for Volunteering is a movement to create a diverse, innovative, ambitious, equitable and person-centred future for volunteering. The Vision for Volunteering sets out a view of what volunteering needs to look like, and how together we can take action to help develop and grow volunteering. Nationally the Vision for Volunteering is being developed and Cumbria CVS would like to know from your organisation about what your vision for volunteering is and what training, support and action is needed from Cumbria CVS and yourselves for us to help strengthen volunteering in Cumbria.
