Volunteer Recruitment and Organisation Registration

The Centre acts as a broker between organisations wishing to recruit volunteers and people interested in volunteering. To ensure that we are providing up-to-date and relevant information to potential volunteers, we ask volunteer-involving organisations to officially register with us.

Registration is free and the benefits to your organisation are:

• Invited to join local networking group, Glossopdale Voluntary Organisations Meeting
• The Volunteer Co-ordinator can help you devise policies, e.g. volunteer policy, equal opportunities policy, etc.
• You will receive a bi-monthly newsletter and good practice information leaflet
• Your volunteer vacancies will be advertised in our newsletter, in our twice-yearly Directory of Voluntary Work Opportunities and on the national volunteering database on the internet
• You can book our window space (9'x6') for display purposes - the bolder the better!

The Volunteer Co-ordinator can also work with you to help identify potential volunteer opportunities within your group and assist with devising role descriptions, inductions, training etc.
