The England Volunteering Development Council

The England Volunteering Development Council is a high-level representative and advocacy mechanism for volunteering. It engages both with government and opposition parties in order to capture the collective intelligence of volunteer-involving organisations, volunteering infrastructure providers and of volunteers to provide a powerful, coordinated lobby to steer government policy and community action.

There are ten bodies of the council in total: a national body and nine regional bodies, one in each Government Office region of England.
