The Conservation Volunteers

We are The Conservation Volunteers.

We bring people together to create, improve and care for green spaces. From local parks and community gardens to Local Nature Reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest; from school grounds and hospital grounds to waterways, wetlands and woodlands; we connect people to the green spaces that form a vital part of any healthy, happy community.

Our team of dedicated, passionate staff and volunteers work with communities across England, Northern Ireland and Scotland and, through our Community Network, we support local community groups across the UK.

 TCV’s Strategic Goals

• Inspire more people to make a difference – Through social action that improves green spaces, communities and lives.
• Secure more support for our work – We will do more to shout about TCV’s great work and secure the support of more donors, funders, partners and volunteers.
• Use our resources to deliver the greatest impact – We will improve our systems, develop our people and deliver the greatest impact we can using the resources we have.

Our strategy reflects the views of all parts of the “TCV Community” and we are proud that it was developed with input from our people, funders, partners, trustees and, of course, our volunteers.
