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.
