Volunteers' Fair Success!

Earlier this month, in collaboration with The Courtyard we hosted a fabulous Volunteers Fair to mark national Volunteers' Week.

A huge thank you to all 40 organisations and groups that attended and to all the people that came through the doors! It was a wonderful atmosphere and enabled a lot of great conversations.

Can we support you or someone you know?

As hvoss develops a much needed supported volunteering service, ‘Be Inspired’, we are working in partnership with Landau Ltd on a NEETs project across Herefordshire.

If you would like support yourself or know any young people, aged 15-25 years old, not in employment or training, who would benefit from extra support or mentoring, please contact our friendly team Mandy, Lauren, Milly or Tori at hvoss: 01432 343932 or email mandy.furniss@hvoss.org.uk

We can support with improving confidence, building resilience, moving into volunteering, training or employment.

Hubs capital grant scheme



Capital funding is available through an exciting new grant scheme. This scheme is looking to support new and existing hubs to develop/enhance their offer to allow them to provide an increased range of services to meet the need of the communities, enabling local residents to access services closer to their home and connect to their local communities.

The National Lottery Community Fund Strategy 2023 – 2030

It starts with community

Social connections and community activities are at the heart of creating healthier, happier lives and a flourishing society. That’s why The National Lottery Community Fund supports amazing community-led projects. And why we’re looking to make a bigger difference in the years ahead, by listening and responding to communities and by focusing on supporting bolder change.

Thanks to National Lottery players, we plan to distribute at least £4 billion of funding by 2030. Supporting projects that will create resilient communities that are more inclusive and environmentally sustainable. Projects that will strengthen society and improve lives across the UK.
