Eva Aldridge - Manager
Hi, I’m Eva Aldridge and the Manager of Volunteer Centre Rugby. I’ve been in post some 22 years and have seen the Centre through many changes and developments. 2005 has been an eventful year with the move to new premises at 60 Regent Street, the setting up of new projects and being involved with year of the Volunteer, whilst continuing our regular volunteering activities and transport schemes. I have overall responsibility for the centre, its services, policy making, strategic development and funding.
With our friendly staff and volunteers we encourage and welcome all visitors, volunteers and clients to be part of our vibrant community in Rugby Borough.
