Voluntary Action-Leeds (VA-L) is the Council for Voluntary Service in Leeds. For over 60 years we have been providing innovative and direct support, services and specialist advice to hundreds of voluntary, community and faith groups, helping them to carry out their work across Leeds.

• We provide direct support, services and specialist advice to hundreds of voluntary organisations and community groups, enabling them to carry out their work.

• We manage the Leeds Volunteer Centre, matching individuals to volunteering opportunities.

• We exist to encourage effectiveness, innovation and co-operation in the voluntary, community and faith sector in Leeds and work with other networks to ensure that the voices of the sector are heard.

• We seek to identify and respond to new and emerging community needs by assisting the creation and development of innovative projects.

• We are committed to prioritising services and targeting resources to communities and groups in greatest need.

• We are fully committed to Equal Opportunities and the elimination of all forms of discrimination.

Our services are available to any Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector (VCFS) organisation, but you are encouraged to join VA-L as a member.

VA-L members get discounts on our services from training to payroll and you will receive our printed newsletter 'Voluntary Action Leads' that is published quarterly.
