WHAT WE DO

We aim to strengthen Bournemouth's voluntary organisations by providing services to meet their needs.  We bring together voluntary groups to develop a collective voice and influence policy makers (see 'Networks').  We promote and encourage volunteering.  We support and develop voluntary groups and organisations, in order to promote equality and tackle social exclusion.  We run some other projects such as Community Transport providing front line services to the local community (see 'Projects').
