Welcome to Voluntary Action Maidstone
Our unique approach
Voluntary Action Maidstone started in 1975 as Maidstone Volunteer Bureau. We are still a local charity serving people in the Borough of Maidstone but we have grown to become a Council for Voluntary Service and offer a range of services to organisations and to individual people.
The Volunteer Centre provides an enormous choice of exciting opportunities for people to volunteer. Our developing infrastructure support role for voluntary and community groups means we are able to help local services flourish.
Our frontline services offer assistance to older people, people with disabilities, people with mental health problems and carers.
Whether you want to be a volunteer, need help with writing a business plan for your group or want a driver to take you to hospital, you are most welcome to explore our website and contact us.
We produce a bi-monthly newsletter with information about national, regional and local items of interest to the voluntary and community sector. Click on this link for our latest newsletter
Voluntary Action Maidstone - a quality service – it’s official! 
Voluntary Action Maidstone’s Council for Voluntary Service is one of only 75 organisations within the country to have been awarded a Quality Mark by NAVCA – the national body that represents CVSs.
The CVS works with local voluntary and community groups to make them stronger and more effective in five main areas – identifying gaps in provision, information/advice/training, networking, representation and strategic partnerships. VAM’s CVS started in 2006 and has worked with hundreds of local groups and organisations since then.
One such group said “VAM performs a most useful role and without its existence many voluntary groups, small and large, would find it extremely difficult to survive”.
To find out how VAM’s CVS can support your voluntary organisation or community group contact Natalie Smith on 01622 677337 or email natalie.smith@vam-online.org.uk
