Introduction to the VVB

The Vale Volunteer Bureau (VVB) was opened in 1996 and operates out of  accessible, shop-fronted premises on Holton Road.  The premises are modern, comfortable, welcoming and are situated in Barry town centre. Our team consists of both volunteers and paid staff. Volunteers compliment the work of the organisation, which in return gives them the skills, knowledge and confidence that is needed to achieve their personal goals.

The VVB provides a comprehensive service to volunteers with a wide range of volunteering opportunities locally (550+) and has been helping people to volunteer and promoting good practice in volunteering for over 10 years, so we know the area and its communities well. If you want to know who needs what, where and when, then we are the organisation to come to.

We offer a one-to-one interview service for volunteers, to enable you to find the right voluntary work, or you can browse through the files of volunteering opportunities, leaflets and directories at your leisure.  We also operate an outreach service in Penarth, Llantwit Major and Cowbridge.  Please contact us for details of these services. Alternatively, you can view all of the VVB's volunteering opportunities from the comfort of your own home online at www.volunteering-wales.net

We have a comprehensive database of over 230 recruiting organisations across the Vale of Glamorgan. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, we can help you to find the placement that is right for you. We hope that you find everything you need to get involved in volunteering!
