A sad loss to us all

Voluntary Action lost one of its longest-serving board members when David Minnery passed away suddenly on Monday 21st January. David had been with VA since before it's inception and was part of the group that set up the organisation in 1998. A strong and vocal community activist, David will be sadly missed by all. The thoughts of the board, staff and volunteers are with his family.
