Support for voluntary and community organisations

Localism

Localism is about putting local people, businesses and councils back in control of the choices and chances to shape the future of their local area.

Funding for voluntary and community groups

We have a range of small grants to support residents and community groups who are most in need.

Volunteering opportunities

Dorset Volunteer Centre helps hundreds of charitable organisations to advertise their roles and match them up with volunteers.

Volunteer Centre Dorset (VCD)

We have commissioned VCD to help voluntary, community groups and charities become strong and independent, with good governance and management.
