Welcome to Voluntary Action Rutland

Voluntary Action Rutland (VAR) is a one stop shop for volunteers and organisations based at the Rutland Volunteer Centre in Oakham.

VAR combines the the services of a CVS (Council for Voluntary Service) and a Volunteer Bureau (VB) who work together for the benefit of the Rutland community.

VAR supports and promotes local voluntary action by providing advice, information and training.

We offer a wide range of services to the Rutland Community, however our main focus is services to vulnerable people.

The Extension Appeal

The Project

To demolish the existing garages at the rear of the Volunteer Centre and replace with a new building which will provide a range of services for the whole community but focusing on the needs of the most vulnerable people in Rutland.

Why do we need to extend the Rutland Volunteer Centre ?

Such has been the success of the Centre that Voluntary Action Rutland has identified the need from the many additional requests for services to serve the people of Rutland, especially the vulnerable and elderly. The recent census shows an above average older population in Rutland.

Voluntary Action Rutland is now at full capacity and no further expansion of services is possible due to the lack of space.
