IVAC and Islington Volunteer Centre Merger

IVAC and IVC have merged into one organisation.  We have merged to become stronger and to enable greater effectiveness and support for the work we do.  The merger took effect on 1^st April 2009.  At first the new organisation will be called IVAC but will change to Voluntary Action Islington shortly.

IVAC and IVC decided that it would be in the best interests of both organisations and the people we serve to join together.  We will continue the work that we already do in promoting the voluntary sector in Islington and helping people into volunteering.

IVAC’s mission is to promote a thriving, effective and influential third sector that is working to improve the quality of life and the life chances of people in Islington.  IVC’s work complements this.

IVC provides a service that matches members of the public with volunteering opportunities in a wide variety of organisations including the public, voluntary and community sectors.  IVC helps members of under-represented groups in this and provides support to organisations that take volunteers.  The key projects are:

Diversity – to give members of BME groups including refugees and asylum seekers the opportunity and support to volunteer

Disability – to dismantle barriers to volunteering for disabled people

Metamorphoses – to support ex-offenders and people with a history of substance misuse into volunteering

Best Practice – to help organisations support and develop volunteers to their full potential

IVC moved to IVAC’s offices on 1^st April.  For the address and contact details please see the Home page.

The form of the merger is that the merged organisation will adopt the IVAC charity and company registrations.  In the short term the new organisation will be called IVAC but this will change to Voluntary Action Islington in the near future. 

Mike Sherriff will be the Chief Executive of the new organisation.
