About this cause

We promote and market volunteering by attending events such as Fresher's Fairs, Over 55's events, become involved in Volunteers Week and through links with local media and various social media outlets. We provide a brokerage service to help individuals find the most appropriate volunteering placements as well as help organisations who need volunteers, through providing them with relevant, appropriate volunteers who have registered with us, had 2 written references undertaken and a one-to-one interview. We undertake back office support for organisations by offering services such as DBS checks and payroll services. We organise network meetings so that organisations can network, develop partnerships and consortia so as to reduce duplication and wasted resources.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We want people to volunteer in their community, to engage with each other, & to provide support and activities which benefit the community. Volunteering has been shown to improve physical and mental health and to strengthen communities. With our support, we want to 'galvanise' our community to recognise the benefits of volunteering thus providing a range of support to suit their own community.
