Association of Volunteer Managers

Who we are

The Association of Volunteer Managers (AVM) is an independent membership body that aims to support, represent and champion people in volunteer management across the UK regardless of field, discipline or sector. It has been set up by and for people who manage volunteers.

The aims and objectives of the Association of Volunteer Managers are to promote the management of volunteers for the benefit of the public by:

• liaising with charities, voluntary organisations, government agencies, private sector bodies and other groups on relevant issues;
• providing information, advice, training, conferences and seminars on subjects relevant to the management of volunteers;
• providing information to the press and the public on the management of volunteers;
• acting as a representative of volunteer managers in relation to policies and legislation.
