Voluntary Action Swindon (VAS) is the Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) in Swindon. A CVS is a charity which supports other charities and coordinates voluntary activity in the local area, as opposed to a frontline charity which supports individuals directly. A CVS is also a forum through which local voluntary and community organisations and statutory sector organisations can communicate with eac
h other and work together. VAS offers a wide variety of services and support to the local voluntary and community sector. This includes advice on fundraising and governance, printing services, DBS checks and room/equipment hire. VAS runs or helps to administer several of the major networks and projects in Swindon’s voluntary and community sector, including Swindon Sports Forum, Swindon Equality Coalition, Swindon Advice & Support Centre, Involve Swindon, Swindon Fundraisers Network, and Swindon Community Centres Network. VAS is based on John Street in the town centre. Our building also houses Volunteer Centre Swindon.
