Voluntary and Community Action East Cambridgeshire is the "one-stop-shop" for local voluntary, community and charitable groups who need information and/or guidance about how to improve the service or activities they deliver to their communities.
The volunteering pledge commits Jonathan to recognising the value of volunteering in building a strong society, promoting positive messages about volunteering, encouraging people to give their time by helping free volunteers from red tape and supporting the organisations who support volunteers.
Jonathan visited the Ely Volunteering Centre on Friday April 23 Jonathan where he met Avril Hayter-Smith the project and development manager for Voluntary and Community Action East Cambridgeshire and other volunteers.

"Voluntary and Community Action East Cambridgeshire do tremendous work including taking elderly people to hospital appointments, helping look after local gardens and much much more.
