Development Work

 At Voluntary Action we carry out a wide range of Development work as outlined below:

• We have the capability to serve as research consultants, providing high-quality research at comparatively low cost. We encourage our member groups to undertake thorough research of their project base before commencement.
  
• We help any group or organisation with any problems they have.
  
• We help find funding to set up new projects.
  
• We help with basic paperwork and setting up accounts.
  
• Group training, which we either provide or we refer groups to other agencies who can help.
  
• Grant applications with a development worker.
  
• We suggest new paths for groups to go down (new ideas for fund raising events, find volunteers to join groups, help with publicity campaigns).
  
• We help prospective volunteers find a voluntary organisation to work with, and we help groups find new volunteers. Please contact us for a local interview.
  
• We have vast amounts of information and if we don't have the information for you, we will find it.
  
• We can develop new services to fill needs raised in our area.
  
• Support for community centres and urban community buildings.
