Community Service Volunteers has rebranded to Volunteering Matters

UK-wide volunteering charity Community Service Volunteers, commonly known as CSV, has officially changed its name to Volunteer Matters.

Formed 52 years ago the charity has always prided itself on being able to deliver important volunteering opportunities to people and communities all over the UK.

Oonagh Aitken, who remains chief executive, said the charity, which has an office in Edinburgh, will continue to do so after the rebrand as it tries to position itself to lead UK volunteering in policy and practice.

Aitken added: “Our new name, Volunteering Matters, marks the beginning of an exciting new future for the organisation.

“We will continue to build on our consistent delivery of high quality volunteering programmes that positively impact the lives of people all over the UK.

“Through social action volunteering, we enable people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to contribute to their local community, enhance their wellbeing and gain important new skills.

“We believe that as Volunteering Matters, we will be better placed to reach new audiences of people who either want to volunteer or could benefit from one of our many bespoke programmes.”
