Governance
Our mission is to create a Scotland where everyone can volunteer, more often, and throughout their lives. We believe that volunteering should be an enjoyable, rewarding and fulfilling experience for every volunteer.
Our strategic outcomes are aligned to the Scottish Government ‘Volunteering for All: National Framework’. Our wide-ranging activities support the following outcomes:
- Inclusive volunteering: There are diverse, quality, and inclusive opportunities for everyone to get involved.
- Policy impact: Volunteering in all of its forms is integrated and recognised in our lives and through local and national policy.
- Community development: The places and spaces where we volunteer are developed, supported, and sustained.
- Recognition and celebration: There is an environment and culture which celebrates volunteers and volunteering and all of its benefits.
- Lifelong engagement: Volunteering participation is valued, supported, and enabled from the earliest possible age and throughout life.
