ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ has appointed volunteers from across the profession to join its newly introduced Volunteer Delivery Group (VDG).

Previously named the Volunteer Steering Group, the VDG was formed to take a proactive role in guiding and supporting volunteers achieve their ambitions and contribute to ºìÌÒÊÓÆµâ€™s wider strategy.

Its introduction came as part of the roll out of a new offering to the profession announced at the start of 2024 and will support delivery of volunteer outputs, Task and Finish Groups and appointments of key roles across the volunteer network.

With the current transition of ºìÌÒÊÓÆµ volunteering, this is an exciting opportunity to become involved in supporting fellow volunteers, through the VDG.â€
