**Over 200 of Volunteering England’s local volunteer recruitment bureaux will rebrand
tomorrow as ‘volunteer centres’ and take the brand identity of the new national 
volunteering body.**

The rebranding comes at the beginning of Volunteers’ Week, run for the first time
by Volunteering England, which came into being after mergers on 1 April 2004. It
follows concern that the various naming styles for local bureaux caused confusion
and a lack of awareness about their services amongst the public.

The rebranding was funded by a grant of £365,000 from the Home Office’s Active Communities
Unit.
