Hart Voluntary Action

Here at Hart Voluntary Action (HVA) we understand that community is the key to wellbeing. We provide advice & support to the voluntary sector, recruit volunteers to support their capacity and deliver our own direct services to improve the health & wellbeing of local people.

Great to welcome Amy & Isaac as fully-fledged Fleet Lions. They've helped out at events & attended a few meetings. Our 1st new members of the year. You next? Contact membership@fleetlions.org.uk. Maybe you’d just like to help out at one of our events at fleetlions.org.uk.

In 2 years we've distributed enough pollinator seeds to cover 2 football pitches. Well done to the public for sowing them. They are vital to support wildlife & provide food for pollinators like bees and butterflies throughout the year. Well done for making a difference
