Predominantly working in the charitable sector in international and national charities, I have cosen to work in a medium sized local charity to give back the wealth of experience I have gained to give back to local communities. I joined Pershore Plus Volunteer Centre in 2021.
Pershore and Plus Volunteer Centre puts volunteering at the heart of the community to reduce rural and social isolation for local people. 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).
We are now working towards accreditation by The National Association for Voluntary Community Action (NAVCA)
