The Modernisation Agenda
Three year funding obtained from CapacityBuilders will enable this project to achieve more robust work at a strategic level enabling the Volunteer Centre network to create "a modern, dynamic, strategic and co-ordinated infrastructure for volunteering" in Suffolk, working towards implementation of VE “Building on Success” and the recommendations of The Commission on the Voluntary Sector "Manifesto for Change"

This project will enable VCs to achieve economies of scale over the funding period and identify possible income streams, making for a more sustainable VC network

Areas for modernisation:
