As part of its commitment to developing volunteering in Solihull, the Solihull Partnership has set aside funding for a project to:

• Establish a Volunteer Bureau in Chelmsley Wood
• Establish a Volunteer Bureau in Solihull Town Centre
• Develop a Reference group for the delivery of National Indicator 6 (Volunteering)
• Encourage membership of the Volunteer Management Forum
• Develop an electronic/virtual Volunteering Forum.

The partnership has asked SUSTAiN, as a lead for the Stronger Communities Strategic Group, to run a commissioning process to select a delivery partner for this work from the third sector. Further details will be available in a few weeks time.

Organisations wishing to express their interest in receiving an invitation to tender for this project at this stage should email Dave Pinwell at davep@solihull-sustain.org.uk
