DCMS invests £600,000 into Vision for Volunteering

The Vision for Volunteering movement, led by NAVCA, NCVO, Volunteering Matters, the Association of Volunteer Managers and Sport England, is a 10-year initiative supported by more than 300 charities.

Funding from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) could be instrumental in achieving the Vision’s aim: to make England the best place in the world to be a volunteer by 2032.

The investment has allowed them to build a specialist staff team, including a project lead, a network and engagement officer, and a learning and storytelling officer.
