About us

VCAEC began as the Ely Volunteer Centre in 1991.  In 1996 we started the Helping Hands Gardening Team and then in 1998 we started the East Cambs Social Car Scheme.  In 2007, the Council for Voluntary Service (CVS) came to Ely, and the two organisations merged in 2008.

 We are unique within Cambridgeshire as we are an independent charity offering a dual role within East Cambridgeshire.
