Founded in 1988, Thornbury Volunteer Centre provides friendly and authoritative information and advice on volunteering for residents of Thornbury and the surrounding area and links potential volunteers with organisations needing help. The Centre was set up in 1988 by a group of local people who recognised a need in Thornbury and its surrounds for a group which could hold all the information about all the other organisations. By 1993 we had outgrown our current premises at the Thornbury Methodist Church and we moved to the newly renovated Town Hall in Thornbury, where we remain to this day. We are a member of Volunteering England, which is the national umbrella organisation for Volunteer Centres and we have achieved their Quality Standards. Thornbury Volunteer Centre is a Registered Charity (no. 1004285).
