Making a Difference Together

Explore our testimonials to learn more about how we’ve helped organisations, the impact of our work, and the experiences of those we’ve supported.

Since my first meeting, we have always been impressed by VAL’s
professionalism and customer service. The team are so friendly and easy to work with but also highly skilled and will always go above and beyond to help even in the most challenging circumstances.

Fantastic response to all my enquiries from the very start, with clear communication and genuinely helpful guidance throughout. Since placing adverts on the VAL site, we’ve already seen a noticeable increase in volunteer recruitment, which has made a real difference to our organisation. We recommend their service to anyone looking to recruit volunteers.

The support I received from VAL was efficient, timely and effective. Without their help I doubt whether my application would have been successful. Their commitment and attention to detail made a real difference to the outcome. Overall, an all round brilliant service that I would confidently recommend to others.

I am really grateful for the guidance provided by VAL and the team. Their support has given me the confidence to complete funding bids and a clearer understanding of what is required for successful applications. I now feel better equipped to apply for future funding opportunities.

VAL team were helpful in advice on converting from a charitable trust to a charitable incorporated organisation. The team at VAL are always very supportive and responsive and helped us to navigate what we needed to do. The process is complicated and the help was very much appreciated by us.

VAL team have been very supportive in our attempts to access funding for our charity, I cannot thank them enough for their efforts, support and guidance throughout. Ange has been amazing – Thank you so much!
