Vision for Volunteering Action Plan

Volunteering is an essential part of how London functions, but formal volunteering is on the decline. To develop volunteering across the capital we are bringing together volunteering experts, practitioners and stakeholders to produce a vision and action plan.

This plan will be produced by March 2025 and will include practical and realistic actions for both within and outside the voluntary sector. 

This collaborative piece of work has been broken down into different co-developed themes, each aiming to explore what is needed for a healthy volunteering sector in London, and how we make that a reality. Find out more here: https://www.works-4u.com/london-vision-volunteering

How to get involved

It is essential that we involve as many people and organisations as we can to create a practical action plan to develop volunteering. Not everyone will have time to attend all the meetings so we will have a range of ways to engage and input into the process:

  • Join the steering group (London Volunteering Strategy Group) – more info below.
  • Email Works4U to sign up to the newsletter and ask how you get involved.
  • Join the dedicated LinkedIn Group for this project which has regular updates
  • Look out for posts/polls/feedback requests on our social media
