The ChangeUp framework was developed in partnership with the sector and focuses on improving capacity building and infrastructure within the voluntary and community sector. From April 2006 ChangeUp will be managed by Capacity Builders , an agency at arms length to government, led by a board of sector experts Hubs of expertise have been established nationally, linked to six key voluntary and community sector infrastructure issues: • Finance • Governance • ICT • Performance • Volunteering • Workforce These are partnerships of VCS organizations aiming to improve quality, efficiency, coherence and strategic development. The Hubs will provide a gateway through which organizations can access the full range of support and development services. As a direct result of winning Change up funding, matched by the London borough of Ealing we are offering bursaries to enable voluntary organisations and groups to access accredited training for their volunteers.

- bFamiliar? The image of volunteering blue rinse middle aged middle class women with time of their hands? The importance of promotion of voluntary activity and the exclusion of many groups who think that volunteering is not for people like them – the promotion your volunteering opportunities are key in attracting the many people who may not think of themselves as potential volunteers, but would be pleased to help out, or get involved or join in for a special event Your relationship with the volunteer centre – the importance of feedback The ethos of the organisation – Are new volunteers afforded equal status?

Do you encourage this with long service awards and accolades Are there lots of people who engage with your organisation who are volunteers but do not associate their engagement with the term volunteering? Are there clear preconceptions about who makes the ideal volunteer for your organization – is it true or are there other groups of the people to interact with ?
