Whitby & district Volunteer Bureau

Interested in Volunteering?

If you are interested in volunteering, I can talk to you about the types of voluntary work you could get involved with, whether you can train and get qualifications while volunteering, what sort of tasks you can do and generally what sorts of things you might enjoy doing. We can usually then together come up with a voluntary opportunity you'd really enjoy, and I can contact the organisation and arrange for you to meet them. Depending on the sort of work you'd be doing, the organisation may want references or a Criminal Records Bureau check, but not all will and the Volunteer Centre will try to find you voluntary work you'll like whatever your situation or history.

Need Volunteers for your Organisation?

If you belong to an organisation that uses volunteers, I can help you to find new volunteers. By registering with the Volunteer Centre Whitby, you will not only make it possible for me to recommend your volunteering opportunity to people who come to see me, but your organisation, if you choose, can appear on a national volunteering website. By entering a post code, potential volunteers can see the work you have available, and if interested, they will contact me first, and I can refer them to you if appropriate. And it's all for free!

The Volunteer Centre will try to support you whatever your volunteering requirements may be, so please contact me by one of the methods below and we can have a chat.
