Introducing the new face of Voluntary Action in East Surrey
Coming soon: A new face for Voluntary Action in East Surrey
Voluntary Action Reigate and Banstead (VARB) and TVA (Tandridge Voluntary Action) are uniting to form Voluntary Action Surrey East (VASE) which will provide enhanced support to communities, volunteers and local organisations.
We will continue to work strategically with the local public sector, and we look forward to developing the way voluntary organisations are supported in East Surrey.
What’s next?
As we move toward the merger, TVA and VARB will continue in their areas—TVA in Tandridge and VARB in Reigate and Banstead. However, TVA has rebranded to VASE as the first step in this process.
In the coming months, we’ll start to collaborate more closely, but for now, please contact info@varb.org.uk for Reigate and Banstead or info@vase.org.uk for Tandridge. We’ll keep you updated as we approach the final merger and launch.
