Welcome to Voluntary Action for Oadby & Wigston

Voluntary Action for Oadby & Wigston is the Volunteer bureau and Council for Voluntary Service for Oadby & Wigston. We are members of Volunteering England (formally the National Association for Volunteer Bureau) and the national Association of Councils for Volunteer Service.

Voluntary Action for Oadby & Wigston is committed to providing a quality service in all areas of the work it does as a combined Volunteer Bureau and Council for Voluntary Service.

Our role is to help develop and promote local voluntary and community groups in order to improve the quality of life for individuals, groups and communities.

We do this by encouraging, supporting and developing individuals, groups and organisations involved in the community. We are committed to ensuring that no individual, group or community is disadvantaged or excluded from playing an active part in society. We promote new initiatives and establish partnerships between the statutory agencies and the voluntary sector.

Voluntary Action for Oadby & Wigston is a centre for volunteering in the Oadby & Wigston area. We recruit and place volunteers in a wide variety of charitable organisations. We do this by working closely with groups and organisations that require volunteers by providing an access point to promote their vacancies, offering information and advice. We offer continual support and encouragement to all our volunteers to fulfil their full potential and see that volunteering is a worthwhile and enjoyable experience.
