We achieve this through: our brokerage role – recruiting and placing volunteers for organisations. by supporting organisations to offer quality volunteering experiences. by influencing and informing public policy on volunteering. by developing new models of volunteer engagement. and by celebrating the contribution and impact of volunteers in Edinburgh.
