Answer
My Department provides funding to Volunteer Now and six independent Volunteer Centres under its longstanding Volunteering Infrastructure Support Programme.
The relationship between the Department and the seven organisations within the Group is governed by agreed delivery objectives around the shared service they provide. There is no organisation that provides a specific service for the Department.
