Volunteer Centre West Berkshire

Established in 1974, VCWB is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation no. 1156302.

We are based in Broadway House, The Broadway, Newbury, opposite the clocktower.

VCWB provides a range of direct services to the public, including ShopMobility, Newbury and Thatcham Handybus and Newbury Community Car Scheme, but our overriding ethos is to match local people to local need. Our Volunteering Database carries details about more than 350 volunteering opportunities in West Berkshire; visitors to Broadway House are always amazed at just how many things can be done in a voluntary capacity.

We also connect, support, promote and represent local charities and community groups,
through the provision of training, events and facilitating forums as well we offering advice and guidance to those looking to start and fund charities or needing supporting with running a charity.

The Charity is governed by a board of Charity Trustees, and is managed on a day to day basis by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers, led by the Charity's CEO, Rachel Peters.
