Advisory Group

V-Base is YouthNet's volunteering and contact management Software, which allows users to post and manage their opportunities directly onto the Do-it website. The V-Base Development Advisory Group (VDAG) ensures that planned redevelopment of the software meets the needs of stakeholder groups and is accountable to them.

We can't develop V-Base without our users' help. VDAG was formed to make sure V-Base users are involved every step of the way. At the moment VDAG has 10 member organisations from across the country. They work closely with us on a daily basis, inputting into development by helping us define requirements and functionality, and testing our pre-release software. Being involved in VDAG is a really exciting way of having a say into how V-Base looks and feels, not just the next version but future versions too.

Our current members are:

• Camden Volunteer Centre - Shelia Norris (0207 424 9990)
• Cheltenham Volunteer Centre - Jo Brown (0845 310 5337)
• CVS Cheshire East - Liz Pinkey (01270 763100)
