Volunteer Voices Forum

Connecting volunteers with volunteers

What is the Volunteer Voices Forum?

The VAST Volunteer Voices Forum is a peer support space to give volunteers in and around Stoke-on-Trent an opportunity to provide valuable insight, share ideas and improve volunteering in the local area. VAST is dedicated to supporting volunteering in our city and facilitates this forum to ensure that volunteering is safe and inclusive for all.

Who's it for?

It’s for everyone!

Everyone is welcome – the forum is open to all volunteers. We aim to have diverse representation within the forum, including from different volunteer roles and organisations across Stoke-on-Trent and North Staffordshire.
