VOICE stands for - Volunteer Organisers Information Communication Exchange.
VOICE is intended to be a supportive group for anyone involved in co-ordinating, managing, training or supporting volunteers. VOICE gives you the opportunity to meet and compare notes with other local people who work with volunteers in different situations. Also, we bring in speakers to talk about specific areas of interest (like EC Volunteer Legislation, health and safety, good practice etc). Membership is free.
