Voluntary Action Swindon – Charity Website Design
Voluntary Action Swindon (VAS) is the infrastructure support organisation for Swindon’s vibrant voluntary and community sector.
Jazzbones Creative partnered with VAS over a 4-month period to deliver a fully reimagined digital platform, built to support the evolving needs of Swindon’s third sector. The result is a technically advanced, easy-to-manage WordPress website that reflects the professionalism and values of the charity.
The project followed Jazzbones’ proven blueprint for digital success, beginning with a collaborative discovery phase to understand VAS’s mission, users and priorities. From there, our team designed a bespoke site architecture and user experience tailored to the organisation’s broad audience — from charity leaders and volunteers to local government partners.
The new website is a robust showcase of Jazzbones’ technical capabilities and includes several custom elements designed to future-proof the platform and reduce admin burden for the VAS team.
Key features include:
Google Maps API integration for improved accessibility and location-based navigation
Dynamic membership directory allowing users to browse and connect with local voluntary groups
Custom post types and templates for news, resources, and training events
Advanced forms for job listings, membership sign-up, and service enquiries
Content migration and formatting to retain historical material while modernising the structure
All of this was delivered on a secure and scalable WordPress platform, fully optimised for mobile and built with accessibility best practices in mind.
As the first port of call for many charities and community groups across Swindon, VAS plays a critical behind-the-scenes role in strengthening the local voluntary sector. With the new website, they now have a digital hub that does the same — helping people find what they need quickly, connect with the right services, and access vital support.
The site also enables VAS staff to publish content and manage updates with ease, allowing them to focus on what they do best: empowering the voluntary sector.
