Speak to Liz at VANEL<\/a> about all things volunteering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our support for Neighbourhood Watch<\/a> acknowledges that all those involved in Neighbourhood Watch are volunteers themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can provide bespoke governance and trustee support and training – all trustees and committee members are often unsung volunteers and we’re here to support them too. (Speak to Karl at VANEL<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n
