Middlesbrough Voluntary Development Agency (MVDA)

We deliver our work through a wide range of programmes.:
Community engagement: a route by which local people can have a voice and influence over the initiation, design, development and evaluation of policies and services that have an impact on them.
Development support: supporting the development of community groups and voluntary organisations, including: setting up an organisation (including support around appropriate governance models); funding advice and support; development of policies and procedures; good practice in running and developing services.
VCS representation, voice and influence: we provide a range of services whereby we represent VCS interests in work with a variety of stakeholders and we facilitate a number of networks and forums.
Volunteering: we provide support to volunteer involving organisations to support them in good practice, as well as providing a brokerage service for Middlesbrough people interested in volunteering.
