Finding Volunteers

When you provide us with information about the volunteer roles you are recruiting for we add them to our volunteering website

We also like to meet or at least chat on the phone to ensure volunteers will be joining a safe, well-managed project. The more we know about your work and your priorities the more we can help you.

We’ll provide information, training and support through our Volunteering Good Practice project, which includes one-to-one advice, Volunteer Co-ordinator forums and our Volunteer Development Toolkit.

There are two ways to register with us and add volunteering roles. We can manage the process and send you details of potential volunteers or you can sign up and manage your organisations profile. Select which one you would rather below.

If you are interested in managing your organisations profile please read our help notes here which offer some guidance on how to use the system

Just some of the ways we help you find volunteers:

Discuss in person your volunteering program and the requirements for your project if you are registering for the first time
Upload details of volunteering opportunities to Volunteer Connect, which are then available to the public
List your opportunity on our social media accounts X, Facebook and Instagram
Offer you the Volunteer Shop in the Centrale Shopping Centre to hold recruitment events
Add your opportunity to our e-bulletin which is sent on a fortnightly basis to potential volunteers on a regular basis
Hold 1-2-1 interviews with potential volunteers who we will inform about your role, if suitable
Advise potential volunteers on which opportunities might be suitable for them, by matching their interests/skills with role requirements
Book out our shop window. We offer our shop window (in Centrale Shopping Centre) FREE of charge for 2 weeks, to organisations that are recruiting volunteers. This provides organsiations with the chance to promote their organisation, activities/services provided and volunteering.
