We are here to support, promote and develop voluntary and community action in Middlesbrough

Who's who

Offices
MVDA is based in central Middlesbrough. Our general office is staffed from 9.00 am to 4.00 pm on weekdays. Much of an MVDA officer's time is spent away from his or her desk and it is usually preferable to book an appointment rather than dropping in to our office.

Contact
All members of staff have both an email address and personal voicemail to make communication as easy as possible. For all general enquiries, or, if you are uncertain who you need to speak to, the first port of call is our general office. All staff work Monday to Friday unless otherwise indicated below.
