Spring cleaning

At AVM we've had the dusters and scrubbing brushes out. We've put the new spring-cleaned version of the AVM website live. We've reviewed and redesigned what we had before, to improve the experience for everyone using the site. We hope it all helps us to network and support each other better.

We hope it builds on the AVM community that have come together since AVM launched in 2007. We've worked hard to rework what worked well, and hack back the stuff that got in the way. We've also launched a handful of new features for AVM members, which we hope will build and grow in the coming months.

This is still very much a beta version of the site so we would really appreciate feedback and get your opinion on what new features you'd like to see in a future release.

We'd like to thank Red Foundation and the Modernising Volunteering programme for their funding of this redevelopment project. Modernising Volunteering is part of the Improving Support programme funded by Capacitybuilders, a partnership led by Volunteering England with Red Foundation, CSV, Nationwide Foundation and v.

UPDATE: We're currently in the process of synchronising the last of the data from the old database to the new one. This means that if you recently registered on the site, or have recently added content (forum posts or comments) you might find that it's not migrated yet. We will have completed this in the next day or so. If you're a registered user in this situation, you should receive an email alert when your account is ready on the new site.
