ESC: Askvoll Frivilligsentral

Nærmiljøsentralen (Sentralen) is a volunteer center since 1991. We have a central role in the coordination work with the public and voluntary teams / organizations. Sentralen is owned by the municipally, but we have our own board. Sentralen organises several meeting places and various activities in the municipality, but in this project, we will concentrate on those in the local centre. There, teams and organizations collaborate with Sentralen, the teams’ volunteers with the activities that the centre coordinates and organizes. The activities can be anything from self-produced to hired actors on the cultural front. For example Concerts. Ad hoc groups help with facilitation and content of measures. We have these groups because we want to be rooted in the local environment, and that the members of these groups know what the individual age groups want in terms of measures and activities.
