Impact & Inspiration

If you engage with potential helpers but also offers a range of support to help develop the support you offer to your volunteers.

121 Support

Medway Voluntary Action can offer voluntary and community sector groups and organisations 121 support with an experienced member of their team if required. The 121 support offered to each organisation will vary depending on their needs, but will always work to the following set of principles:

  • Support is confidential.
  • Support is free of charge for one-hour (funded by Medway Council's Better Together Contract).
  • Support offered is offered on an informal basis and is facilitative only; not directional or advice.
  • Support might be offered through a variety of avenues (e.g. online, telephone, face to face).
  • Support will always aim to be impartial and non-political. If an interest should arise then MVA will declare an interest.

    To help us prepare for your 121 support session, and to connect you to the most appropriate member of the team, please complete this form and return it to: volunteering@mva.org.uk
