Community Impact Bucks

Who we are

At Community Impact Bucks we are passionate about helping people to get involved and make a difference in Buckinghamshire communities.

We do this by:

• Supporting people to find volunteering opportunities, and develop their skills and knowledge through volunteering and training.
• Supporting charities and other not-for-profit groups with information, advice and training, and helping them to have a collective voice in matters that affect them and the people or environment they support.
• Working with communities to identify their needs, the solutions they want to see, and help them to make change happen.
   

Established in its current form in 2010, and with a 35-year history of supporting communities in Buckinghamshire, Community Impact Bucks is at the heart of the charity, voluntary and community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector in the county. We are the nationally accredited Volunteer Centre and the Rural Community Council for Buckinghamshire.

Our culture and values

We support people and groups to get involved in their local communities and make Buckinghamshire a better place to live.

We do this by offering expert advice and training, helping people to find volunteering opportunities, and helping charities and not-for-profit groups to get started, be effective and grow. We also have a number of directly delivered community services which focus on supporting those most in need – the elderly, vulnerable and socially isolated.

As an independent charity, we are the Council for Voluntary Service, Volunteer Centre, and Rural Community Council for Buckinghamshire supported by Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE). By supporting and enabling voluntary and community action in the county, we work to make Buckinghamshire a better place to live.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Community Impact Bucks is committed to challenging inequality and values the diversity of our communities in Buckinghamshire. We recognise that reflecting that diversity will only ever make our organisation better. We work to ensure an inclusive culture where colleagues feel welcomed and supported to succeed and thrive. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly those from under-represented communities.
