London Vision & Action Plan for Volunteering - Short Survey

The London Vision and Action Plan for Volunteering (LPAPV) project is a collaborative piece of work that will produce a plan, by Feb/Mar 2025, with recommendations to develop volunteering across the capital. We want to involve volunteer stakeholders to produce an ambitious plan that is grounded in reality to tackle challenges and grow volunteering.

More information about the project and how to engage can be found here. There is also a dedicated LinkedIn page with updates which you can access here.
