Thornbury Volunteer Centre is run by a team of volunteers and a part time employee with the aim of promoting all aspects of voluntary work in Thornbury and its district. A registered charity, we fulfil the Charity Commission’s aim of ensuring that all charities are of benefit to the public and the communities which they serve.
The Accounts
Copies of our annual accounts are available on request. The Centre’s reserves policy is to maintain its reserves at such a level as to ensure that as at the 1 April each year sufficient funds are available to maintain at least two years’ activity broadly at the level of 2022-2023, thereby enabling, if necessary, an orderly winding up of the charity to be achieved. In setting the level of reserves the costs of any statutory redundancy payments or other legal payments for which the Centre might be liable will be taken into account.
Volunteer Co-ordinators
The Centre operates with a team of volunteer co-ordinators who attend the office daily on a rota. The co-ordinators are the backbone of the Centre and donate their time on a regular basis. This year we have welcomed Benedict O’Donohoe to our team and we hope he enjoys his time with us. So, to all past and current volunteers we offer our grateful thanks.
Trustees
Our Management Committee has remained the same this year and our trustees ensure that we operate within the guidelines set by our Constitution, the Charity Commission and NCVO.
The Centre
The office is open to the public between 10.30am-12 noon Monday to Friday. We have a large database of current volunteering opportunities, both locally, regionally and nationally.
Paid Workers
Kim Webb is our paid employee working 15 hours a week, funded in part by South Glos Council.
Website and IT
Michael Quinion, our long-standing IT Manager, continues to maintain and improve our userfriendly and accessible website. The website continues to raise our profile and that of volunteering in general with all our news and events being posted and both volunteers and organisations able to register with us online.
Social Media
Our social media accounts help to keep us in touch with all members of the community. This year we have welcomed Pauline Szeiler to our team and Pauline is responsible for all of our social media. Since Pauline has started we have seen a massive growth in followers and enquiries.
Publicity
We enjoy a good relationship with the local media, with ongoing articles appearing in The Gazette, Thornbury Voice, local Community Magazines, local websites and e-bulletins.

A 2022 Retrospective
June - Celebration Afternoon Tea
On Wednesday 22 June we welcomed more than 50 volunteers and representatives from volunteer-involving organisations to a Celebration Afternoon Tea in Turnberrie’s Community Centre, Thornbury.
This lovely summer event was our first in three years and allowed us to say thank you for the hard work and commitment this section of the community has given over the past two years. It was lovely to welcome guests and treat them to a delicious afternoon tea whilst giving them the opportunity to meet with each other and share experiences.
We were joined by guest speakers Marie Isles, Operations Manager of PHASE Thornbury, and Nigel Lane, Director of Thornbury Radio. Both speakers gave informative and interesting talks on their organisations, the help they can offer and the help they need in order to continue and promote their work.

July - Volunteer Fair 2022
On a sunny 21 July, we hosted a volunteer fair in the St Mary Centre for ten local charities and organisations. The aim was to promote the organisations, publicise their volunteer opportunities and in some cases, raise funds.
Thornbury Radio played throughout the morning and Thornbury Town Mayor, Cllr Chris Davies, visited and spoke to all the stallholders. The lovely morning resulted in many visitors, with more than £200 being raised, at least 13 potential volunteers coming forward and many people taking away information.
Our thanks to the St Mary Centre management team and South Glos Council for their support.
November - Christmas Fair 2022
We held a highly successful Christmas tabletop sale at Alveston Methodist Church Hall on 5 November.
We were joined by a dozen local charitable groups and individuals. They sold a great range of goods, including cards, toys, knitted jumpers, homemade fudge, crafts and vintage bric-a-brac while also raising awareness of their work in the local community.
We served tea and cake to the crowds of visitors and held a giant Christmas
raffle with donations from Tesco, Aldi, the Co-op, Boots, the Ship Inn in Alveston, the Swan Inn in Thornbury, Berkeley Castle, Woodchester Mansion, the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust and many more. Altogether, it was a hugely enjoyable event. Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who made it a success. We raised more than £500 for our own funds.

Vale of Berkeley Railway – Bringing back Rail to the Vale
Our aim is to reopen the Sharpness branch line, in Gloucestershire, to passengers as a heritage railway tourist attraction, rebuilding some of the key structures that once adorned this historic joint GWR & LMS Severn & Wye Railway.
We have established an engineering facility based in the Old Engine House by the docks, to restore heritage locomotives, rolling stock and other items from a bygone era, and to serve as an initial base for the Vale of Berkeley Railway. Now we are working on developing the original Sharpness freight sidings site.
We offer opportunities for people from all walks of life to help restore the Sharpness Branch line. It's a great way to learn lots of new skills or develop existing ones in a fun, friendly and enjoyable environment.
