Greater London Volunteering (GLV) is the regional umbrella organisation for volunteering in London. Members include Volunteer Centres and Volunteer Development Agencies covering every borough of Greater London, offering strategic and capacity-building support and brokerage services to over 50,000 volunteers and around 9,000 organisations (2008).
GLV is dedicated to the provision and promotion of volunteering opportunities in the capital. Working at the regional level with partners such as TimeBank, Do-it and London Voluntary Services Council (LVSC) , we seek to inform and influence local and regional government, decision-makers and funders on the value of quality, coordinated volunteering activity.
The main focus of GLV is to generate more volunteering activity in Greater London. Our key strength lies in our members’ vast knowledge and experience in the voluntary sector. With members in virtually every borough in the region, we are committed to providing as wide a network of opportunity as possible.
