How Dublin City Volunteer Centre is run, who is on our board, and where to find our accounts, reports and policies.
Dublin City Volunteer Centre (DCVC) was set up in January 2014, when Dublin City North and Dublin City South Volunteer Centres merged.
We are a company limited by guarantee, governed by a voluntary Board of Directors. We are a non-profit organisation with no shareholders, and any surplus is reinvested in our work.
DCVC is an independent charity and part of the network of 29 Volunteer Centres under the umbrella of Volunteer Ireland.
Our directors are volunteers. The board meets 6–8 times a year, and three subgroups do much of the detailed work between meetings.
