How the Volunteer Centre is Funded
The Volunteer Centre is funded through three main avenues, Infrastructure Funding from Statutory Bodies, Grant funding from independent Charitable Trusts or Foundations and Donations. The donations we receive are from the general public, our fundraising committee and some local businesses.
