Voluntary Action Islington (VAI) is the main provider of support to Islington’s thriving and diverse voluntary sector and promotes community action through volunteering in the Borough.
VAI works with over 500 voluntary organisations based or working in Islington. We provide information, advice, assistance and training for the staff, volunteers and trustees of local charities and represent the interests of the voluntary sector to our partners in the statutory and private sectors.
