About us

Volunteer Centre Sunderland was established in 1973 as a registered charity and is a local voluntary organisation that exists to promote, support and develop volunteering in Sunderland, Washington, Houghton and Hetton areas. We actively recruit volunteers from all sections of the community and place them with local voluntary organisations who are seeking volunteers to help with their work. We also support and advise these organisations on good practice when working with volunteers.

The Centre holds a Quality Mark awarded by the national umbrella body

Volunteering England to show that it meets its 6 core functions. It recognises the Centre's achievement in meeting the criteria for Quality Accreditation and confirms that we fully meet the requirements of a Volunteer Development Agency.
