Volunteering

Volunteering

We support volunteering as the practice of people working on behalf of others, or a particular cause, without payment for their time and services.

We believe in a thriving voluntary and community sector in which all residents of new and
established communities get on well and have a strong sense of belonging.

We have a strong voluntary and community sector which provides a range of leisure and support services. There are many ways for residents to get involved in their local community as part of local clubs, community groups, neighbourhood action groups, or parish and town councils.
We aim to:

• Increase the confidence of communities
• Support communities to find local solutions to local problems
• Support elected representatives in their community leadership role
• Help all communities get on well together
• Improve community cohesion, particularly between new and existing communities
• Provide support for community participation and engagement
• Provide facilities in new and existing communities, especially for young people
• Reduce levels of disadvantage
• Reduce social isolation

We fund Community Impact Bucks which is a charity helping people to access local volunteering opportunities.  See the link below for more information.
