Volunteering Counts is a new project to encourage more people who live in Dudley borough to volunteer.
The project also aims to recognise the thousands of people across the borough who already make a real difference in their local communities through volunteering.
The Volunteering Counts website is part of the Volunteering 2012 Project. The project is funded by Dudley Community Partnership through the Stronger Communities block of Dudley’s Local Area Agreement (LAA).
Volunteering 2012 is overseen by a steering group with representatives from:
- Age Concern Dudley
- Centre for Equality and Diversity
- Dosti
- Dudley Council for Voluntary Service
- Dudley District Citizens Advice Bureaux
- Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council Directorate of Adult, Community and Housing Services
- Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council Directorate of Children’s Services
- Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council Directorate of Urban Environment
- Dudley Primary Care Trust
- Dudley Volunteer Centre
- Dudley Volunteer Organisers’ Network
- St Thomas’s Community Network
- West Midlands Police
A full-time officer, based at Dudley Volunteer Centre, has been employed to oversee the day-to-day work of the project.
