WHO ARE WE?

Welcome to our new website and new name: Vale Community Impact

The centre was founded in 1971, with a small group of volunteers providing information services and advice from a small office in Wantage Market square. At that time, we were known as the Community Information Centre.

We became a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) in January 2016 which resulted in a further name change – Wantage Independent Advice Centre, in the Vale for the Vale.

We started using our new trading name, Vale Community Impact, or, VCI in April 2021.

Today, October 2021, we have 120 volunteers including 40 volunteer Drivers and 40 volunteer Good Neighbours. 

We are also recruiting for an additional part-time member of the staff team to take the lead with our fundraising, publicity and marketing activities.

In 2008 we received the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.

Vale Community Impact has 13 volunteer trustees who form the Management Committee, four of whom are nominated representatives from various Councils.  The Chairman is Graham Beith.
