Transforming Local Infrastructure

Over the next 18 months the Volunteer Network will be working with 6 partner organisations to join up the existing voluntary sector support services that currently exist across Somerset to create a new and better service.  The new service will provide:

  • A central News & Information hub and telephone helpline.  

This will create a single point for accessing or distributing all types of news and information relevant to the voluntary sector. 

  • A Somerset-wide volunteering service and brand identity.  

This will bring together the services of Next Step Volunteer Bureau, Mendip Community Support and Somerset Youth Volunteering Network to create a single, central, volunteer bureau and support service.    

  • A Local Giving Campaign and Fundraising Advice Service.

Led by partners in association with the Somerset Community Foundation we will make it easier for local businesses to connect with local causes and improve the support available to help charities and community groups raise funds and hold joint campaigns.   

The Partners

ViSTA, Next Step Volunteer Bureau,  Mendip Community Support, CHYPPs (Children and Young People’s Partnership Somerset), Somerset Race Equality Council, SYVN (Somerset Youth Volunteer Network), the Somerset Towns Forum with assistance from Somerset Community Foundation.

The Funder

The partnership project is called Somerset TLI (Transforming Local Infrastructure).   The government has awarded our project a grant through Transforming Local Infrastructure, which is being delivered by Big Fund, the non lottery funding arm of the Big Lottery Fund.  Transforming Local Infrastructure will provide better support for frontline civil society organisations by transforming local infrastructure services.
