The VCNW Management Committee is made up of director/trustees and advisory members who bring a wide range of knowledge and experience to the organisation. This includes experience of working in the voluntary sector, volunteering, business management and IT skills. The Management Committee meet for a few hours every two months to ensure the Volunteer Centre is running smoothly and to make decisions and plans for the future.
