Ashfield Voluntary Action has been operating in the Ashfield area since 2001! Initially working under the name Ashfield Links Forum, the name was changed to it's current form to put volunteering at the heart of everything we do: Ashfield Voluntary Action.
The charity provides support to other voluntary sector groups throughout the Ashfield District and also supports individuals through a range of targeted projects and social groups, and in its capacity as a broker for volunteering. This means we help people wanting to volunteer find an opportunity that suits them, and we help organisations get the word out about what volunteering roles they have available.
Every year, our trustees produce a report about AVA's work, including how we've met our charitable aims and an overview of our projects and finances. You can click HERE to download and read our most recent Trustees Report and Annual Accounts (2023-2024).
