Investing In Volunteers

Memberships & Donations

The Voluntary Care Centre is core funded by the Borough of Lewisham, but relies on individual support to enable us to offer the best possible service to people in the local community.

Individual Membership

Membership is one of the ways that we are able to do this, and ensures that the community is involved in the direction and decision making of the organisation.

Individual Membership is only £10 per year. Becoming a member ensures that you are kept informed of the activities of the Centre throughout the year; receive newsletters and invitations to events including the Annual General Meeting (AGM). You will also be entitled to vote on issues concerning the Centre at the AGM, which is normally held on the last Thursday in June.

Donations

The Voluntary Care Centre operates a fund that is supported by local churches, schools, businesses, individual donations and fundraising activities to enable us to carry out the following services:

Supporting disadvantaged children and families, vulnerable adults, individuals or groups at risk in our area. We achieve this by providing childrens’ safety equipment, resources to relieve poverty and financial assistance to help in crisis situations.
Day trips for Children/families and the elderly.
Support for the Grove Centre Social Club.

Every donation makes a difference to the service we are able to provide and is greatly appreciated. As this is a segregated fund, 100% of your donation goes directly to helping people in need.

Investing In Volunteers Award

VCC at the make a difference awards

Thursday 4th March saw the first Make a Difference Award ceremony (held by Lewisham Council in partnership with Volunteer Centre Lewisham) which celebrates the contribution that volunteers make to the borough of Lewisham.

Sponsored walk update & abseil

Due to restricted resources at the VCC, we will not be holding a walk again this year.

However, we do have five people raising money for the VCC by participating in a Sponsored Abseil on Sunday 4th July. The abseil will be down the side of Kings College Tower.

Fundraising quiz night

On Friday 26th March, ten teams competed to be VCC quiz champions. Participants paid £5 each to enter and contributed generously to our raffles.

VCC Referrers day

On Wednesday March 10th, the VCC held their annual Referrer's Day. This is an opportunity for us to spread the word about the work of the VCC and ensure that other organisations have the right information about what we do.

March - volunteer support session

On the afternoon of Wednesday 24th March, police support community officer Daryl Angus came to talk to volunteers about many of the issues concerning local people in the Perry Vale Ward of Lewisham.
