About
Pershore Volunteer Centre was established in 1984 and became an independent local charity in 1985 (no. 516080). We support local residents experiencing rural or social isolation and provide volunteering opportunities for individuals wanting to support their local community and improve the quality of life for themselves and other people. In 2016 new legislation enabled us to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (no. 1166141). We have also received accreditation as a volunteer centre by the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO).
The Volunteer Centre’s activities are overseen by a Board of Voluntary Trustees.
Our overall aim is to place volunteering and well-being at the heart of the local community.
In practice, this means the activities we undertake to achieve our aim are wide-ranging and include:
§ Recruitment of volunteers and promotion of volunteering opportunities and supporting voluntary and community groups to recruit and manage volunteers.
§ Providing a Community Transport Service for residents unable to use public transport.
§ Supporting a Community Resource Centre providing a range of office services
§ Providing a lunch club and supporting other services for older people
§ Liaison with statutory and voluntary organisations to identify needs in the area and link them to existing resources
