The Red House Ramble
In this video from North Tyneside Council, watch how the Friends of Red House Ramble have taken an unloved and neglected space and turned it into a beautiful, welcoming natural area, suitable for people and wildlife alike. This would not have been possible without the hard work of up to 120 household members and support from North Tyneside Council.
Collingwood Bowling Club
Watch how Collingwood Bowling Club have transformed a run-down green in North Shields in to a vibrant, well-used club with big plans for the future, thanks to the hard work of its members plus advice and support from VODA. Collingwood Bowling Club from Robin on Vimeo.
Good Neighbours
The Good Neighbours project recruits, trains and supports volunteers to undertake a variety of practical tasks commonly associated with those carried out by a 'good neighbour' such as basic DIY, dog walking and shopping. VODA matches Good Neighbours volunteers to local people in the community who could use this kind of support.
