Evesham Volunteer Centre
About Us
The Evesham Volunteer Centre Team
Evesham Volunteer Centre is staffed by dedicated and experienced individuals, assisted by many volunteers.
Our Vision
A developed, supported and strengthened volunteering network throughout the Vale of Evesham, Worcestershire.
Our Aim
To recruit, advise and guide those willing to undertake voluntary work and in doing so be a focal point for voluntary and statutory organisations, who use Volunteers
What Do We Do?
As a Volunteer Centre we identify Volunteering Opportunities and have a huge variety for those wanting to Volunteer.
But we're not just about volunteering, we offer our own direct services to the Community.
We also have a Community Transport Scheme.
This is a scheme for people who don't have access to public transport and who have no other means of getting to places on their own such as hospitals, dentists, opticians and shops.
One of the most popular services offered by the Centre is the community transport scheme, with around 50 drivers offering their services. This is a scheme for people who don't have access to public transport and who have no other means of getting to places on their own such as hospitals, dentists, opticians and shops.
Around 10,000 people use the service each year and demands on the Centre are increasing as more and more elderly people fall under the criteria of the scheme.
Our POPI Project
The aim of the POPI Project, based at Evesham Volunteer Centre, is to enhance the quality of life of older people living in the local community.
The POPI Co-ordinator and POPI Volunteers are dedicated to helping older people maintain an independent, supported lifestyle:-
We also offer support and advice to other voluntary organisations and community groups, both in Evesham and the surrounding villages.
We have an understanding of our local community and have a voice at town , district and county levels, to inform on local needs.
We are an information centre for services throughout the local area and can signpost people to the relevant service providers they require.
