What is DVON

DVON is a support network for volunteer organisers across the Dudley borough and is open to any group who involve volunteers. It has been an independently constituted voluntary group since January 2004.

Our aims and objectives

The group aims to promote volunteers, and volunteering, through volunteer co-ordinators by aiding the exchange of best practice, information, training and encouraging partnership working and support networks.

Membership

Membership of DVON includes Volunteer Co-ordinators and Volunteer representatives from Voluntary, Community, and Statutory organisations within Dudley Borough and the wider Black Country. All applications for membership should be put in writing to the General Committee.

Members are asked to pay an annual subscription of £10.00 to join the group, which is payable in September each year. These funds are used to provide room hire and refreshments for meetings, and any underspend is allocated to improving DVON's Resource Library.

As of September 2009 the elected officers are:

Chair	Sylvia Stephenson	Phoenix Mobile Toy Library
Vice Chair	Eileen Fielding	Dudley CVS
Treasurer	Sharon Sinclair	WRVS
Secretary	Leah Robins	Castle Toy Library
