VCA is a charitable company limited by guarantee, and is part of the Volunteer Centre Network Scotland, supported

Our
Aims
All volunteer centres in Scotland work towards a set
of national outcomes closely linked to the Scottish Excutive's Volunteering Strategy. Work to achieve these outcomes is
tailored to the local situation in Aberdeenshire.
The national outcomes are as follows:
1. People are enthused
by, and involved in volunteering, particularly young people
2. Volunteering is barrier free, inclusive to all and embraces
diversity
3. Volunteers have a good experience of volunteering and are welcomed and valued wherever they volunteer
4. The value and impact of volunteering is measured and recognised in local and national policy development and community
planning
5. Volunteer Centres, and the VC/VDS partnership, have in place good governance, organisational standards and
infrastructure to ensure continuous improvement, growth and development
