TVN IS A CHARITY THAT'S BEEN RUNNING FOR OVER 20 YEARS IN THE SOUTH WEST. SUPPORTING ANYONE AGED 14-30 YEARS OLD AND HELPING THEM ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR BIG.
WE DO THIS THROUGH VOLUNTEERING EVENTS, WORK EXPERIENCE, APPRENTICESHIPS, TRAINING, SUPPORT, MENTORING AND SO MUCH MORE. ON AVERAGE WE WORK WITH NEARLY 1,000 YOUNG PEOPLE A YEAR AND WORK WITH OVER 40 ORGANISATIONS/COMMUNITY GROUPS. WE ARE BASED IN GLASTONBURY, BUT TRAVEL AROUND THE WHOLE OF THE SOUTH WEST TO PROVIDE THE BEST SUPPORT TO RURAL AREAS. |
Every-day at The Volunteer Network is never the same, so we as staff often don't have official titles.
We can be organising an event one day, running money management sessions the next and training a bunch of new volunteers come the weekend.
However there is one member of staff who has a title, that is Scott McMillan the CEO and founder of The Volunteer Network.
Scott founded The Volunteer Network (TVN) in 1999 when he saw the lack of support for young people in rural Somerset.
For the last 20+ years he's made the charity focus on the needs of young people, has worked with organisation's and government office to break the stigma and pave the way for even more successful stories about the young people across the South West.
'Since 1999 we've worked with over 20,000 young people and expanded our work across the whole of the
South West, so that everybody has a chance to achieve their goals and be the best them they want to be'.
