Who are VAO

Our vision: Orkney has sustainable, resilient, inclusive communities with a thriving third sector at their heart.

At Voluntary Action Orkney (VAO), we work to ensure that community groups and charities across Orkney have a voice.

People are at the heart of everything we do including how we recruit our staff. It is important for us to find people who share our values: Integrity and Honesty: We are fair, honest and responsible.

Meet our Board of Directors. They play a very important role in making sure that the organisation is run in the interests of the charities, community groups and volunteers we support.

Our team is dedicated to supporting volunteers, community groups, charity organisations and the community in Orkney.

Voluntary Action Orkney (VAO) brings together individuals, community groups, charities, voluntary organisations, and social enterprises working to make a positive impact across Orkney.
