The changing face of voluntary workVoluntary Action North Lincolnshire is a member organisation. Voluntary organisations pay a small fee to join, and may then access a range of extra benefits, such as services at reduced cost, advance information and the opportunity to meet others doing similar work. The services accessible at reduced price include IT, training, office services, equipment loan, volunteer recruitment and financial services. As the voluntary sector is pushed more and more towards sustainable operation (i.e. making the money you want to spend on services yourself) and having to tender for contracts, the services on offer from Voluntary Action become more and more valuable. There will soon be a stark choice: cut your operations to the level you can finance yourself through fundraising events and subscriptions, or work towards a quality mark and learn how to tender for contracts. Grants are reducing, and although loans are available you will need an income before you can consider taking one out to extend your services. This is not all doom and gloom – making your organisation more efficient will make your work easier in the long term, and you will be better able to recruit volunteers if they can use the experience on their CVs. Plus, if your income is earned you don’t have to answer to grant funders’ requirements all the time and that could free up huge amounts of time. To find out more, call VANL on 01724 845155 and request membership details. |
