We aim to keep all our members up to date via our quarterly newsletter- 'V. A.R News' with national and local news affecting the voluntary sector, as well as producing the Rutland Community Directory annually. We aim to provide organisations with legal, financial and practical advice and information from drawing up a constitution to finding an auditor for your accounts. Community Resource Room. VAR has a resource library, which is full of information and advice on a wide range of subjects. Books can be loaned.
Members can also have access to computers.
We work with others to research needs and develop new services in Rutland. Equal Opportunities . VAR is committed to equal opportunities and operates an 'open door' policy Funding. We can advise and help on how to apply for funding and where to look for funds. We have software, called Funderfinder, which provides information on charitable trusts for voluntary organisations.
