Answer
The Volunteer Development Agency was originally funded to administer revenue core funding to 15 Volunteer Centres across Northern Ireland under the Volunteer Bureaux Initiative (VBI).
Following an evaluation of Volunteer Bureaux Initiative new arrangements were developed to support volunteering infrastructure across Northern Ireland and the Volunteer Bureaux Initiative ceased to exist on 30 September 2013.
