Vision
QVA witnesses to the value and importance of volunteering,
as a visible and practical way of putting faith into action to
meet social need.     
The Quaker approach has a particular contribution to make
to this.
 Volunteering can : 
· bring people together 
· nurture a sense of passion and adventure 
· foster a sense of social responsibility  
· provide a seed of learning that can be shared

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.
We work with the Quaker community and others -
in Britain, Europe and beyond.

Aims
· 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
