Welcome

By the end of 2010 ViSTA had 370 volunteers active in the community and during 2011 we hope this number will grow.

All our volunteers are involved in one (or more) of the following projects:

  • Somerset Intergenerational Project
  • Community Learning Champions
  • Voice and Influence 
  • Active Citizens Programme
  • Community Learning Hubs

    Follow the links for more information on each of the projects, and if you would like to get involved, please contact us.
