Hastings Voluntary Action supports SELCS (South East Language and Cultural Services) which is a registered umbrella body for the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

SELCS provides low cost DBS checks using a virtual process, following government guidance. Volunteer DBS checks are free, with a £10 admin charge – lower than many other DBS providers. Please contact Pauline Lorence on 07840 794595 or email [email protected] for more information.

HVA were delighted to collaborate with the Institute for Volunteering Research on the largest ever study of volunteering ever undertaken in Hastings.

The strategy explores the current state of volunteering locally, highlights key challenges and opportunities, and sets out priorities for building a stronger, more inclusive volunteering culture across the town.
