Voluntary
Many voluntary organisations are active providers of adult learning, for their own members, clients or the general public. Many, especially the larger ones such as the WEA or the National Federation of Women's Institutes with 250,000 members and its own residential Denman College, are members of NIACE. NIACE itself is a voluntary membership body and a registered educational charity and therefore is a member of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations as the national umbrella body. In addition, volunteers play an important part in the delivery of some forms of adult education, notably in literacy and in organisations like the University of the Third Age.
Details of NIACE's current work in this sector can be found on the
Voluntary Sector pages of
the R&D section of this site.
