Improving the lives of people living in Orkney
- Improving the lives of people living in Orkney
Voluntary Action Orkney supports and develops volunteering, charities, community groups and social enterprises across the islands.
- We are working remotely
VAO staff are still working remotely on a temporary basis since we moved out of Anchor Buildings.
Arrangements for temporary accommodation are being finalised while plans are progressing for the new Community Hub.
- Calling all volunteer-involving groups and organisations
We would like to hear from groups and organisations in Orkney about developing a new forum for those who are responsible for managing, coordinating, recruiting or supporting volunteers.
- Finance support for charities and voluntary organisations
Running a charity is about making a difference and behind every successful organisation are strong financial systems, accurate records and confident people who understand the numbers.
The finance team at VAO can help
- Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund open to applications
Groups and organisations can apply for up to £7,500 of which a maximum of £5000 can be used for capital items.
Projects should take place between 1 March 2027 and 28 February 2028
- Free financial training and mentoring support
Do you volunteer or work with a local charity or community group that would benefit from training and mentoring to help you manage its finances?
Up to date advice, information and training for groups and organisations. From committee management and constitutions to funding and planning, we can help.
Our projects work at the heart of our community to provide support to the people who need it.
