Warwickshire Community and Voluntary Action (WCAVA)

Warwickshire Community and Voluntary Action (WCAVA) is a countywide organisation that supports charities, voluntary groups and community organisations across Warwickshire. Its website is a valuable starting point for anyone looking to explore volunteering opportunities in a wide range of community and support roles.

Through WCAVA, members can find up-to-date volunteering opportunities with local charities, community groups and not-for-profit organisations. Roles vary widely and may include befriending, mentoring, administration, governance and trustee roles, practical support, and specialist advisory positions where professional experience is particularly valued.

The WCAVA website also provides guidance for volunteers, helping individuals understand what to expect from a volunteering role and how to find opportunities that match their interests, availability and skills. Many roles are flexible and can be tailored around personal commitments.

Warwickshire County Council – Volunteering Opportunities

Warwickshire County Council promotes volunteering opportunities that support local services, community projects and residents across the county. These opportunities allow volunteers to contribute directly to initiatives that benefit Warwickshire’s communities, often in partnership with local organisations and public services.

Volunteering roles promoted by the Council may include supporting libraries, community transport schemes, youth and family services, environmental projects, health and wellbeing initiatives, and local events. Some opportunities are short-term or project-based, while others offer ongoing involvement.

For retired officers and members, these roles can provide a practical way to remain engaged locally, share valuable life and professional experience, and support services that make a real difference to residents across Warwickshire.
