Quaker Voluntary Action is a Charity (no. 1083412) and a Company limited by Guarantee (no. 3908675)

Mission:
Our mission is to provide practical opportunities to put faith into action and to develop new ways of volunteering that meet the challenges of our time.

Its aims are:

 • To offer support and encouragement to Quaker Meetings in translating
their concerns into action

 • To witness to the value of volunteering and foster interest in volunteering
in projects with practical outcomes

 • To develop our links across Europe and provide opportunities for Friends
to meet and work together

 • To provide short-term opportunities for practical volunteering combined
with personal spiritual development

 • To increase the support for QVA from the Quaker community and others
and to build a secure financial base for the organisation
