VSO Local Group

Click here for the VSO website

VSO sends skilled and experienced volunteers to work with communities in the developing world, and campaigns in Britain to change attitudes towards the South. VSO is a UK registered charity, No. 313757.

The Edinburgh and South East Scotland Local VSO Group exists to support the activities of VSO in the Edinburgh Area. We are involved in fundraising, recruitment, development education and volunteer support activities, as well as some purely social events. Most events take place at members' homes, and most (but not all) of our current members are returned volunteers.

VSO PLanning Meeting
Tuesday 14 February 2012 at 6:30pm
Venue: Edinburgh Volunteer Centre, 45 Queensferry Street Lane EH2 4PF map
Planning meeting

Planning Meetings are held roughly every 2 months at 6.30 before the pub nights at the nearby Volunteer Centre. So come along and contribute your ideas in a big or small way in a friendly, welcoming, appreciative, informal atmosphere.


Monthly Pub Night
Tuesday 14 February 2012 at 7:30pm
and on the second Tuesday of every month
Venue: Le Di- Vin wine bar, Edinburgh EH3 7TE map

Le Di- Vin wine bar is the relatively new pub night venue. It is at 9 Randolph Place, so still not far from the Volunteer Centre. It is just past Harry's Bar but in the same building as La P'tite Folie restaurant - but through the back. Hope you find it OK.

See website too.http://www.ledivin.co.uk/about.html

I think we will have one of the tables on the balcony and there should be a VSO sign on the table, so if no-one’s there at 7-30, stick around – someone will turn up soon!

This is our informal monthly get-together, and an ideal opportunity for prospective and returned volunteers to ask questions and share information and experiences.

VSO Fundraising Night at The Stand Comedy Club
Wednesday 19 September 2012
Venue: The Stand Comedy Club, York Place, Edinburgh
Keep this date in your diary. More to follow. This will be a fundraising night for VSO and we will need people's help in selling tickets for it to be a success.
