Volunteering

Volunteering creates immense benefit to both the volunteer and the recipients. It brings people together, helps people to know their neighbours and builds community spirit. By volunteering you can gain new skills, knowledge, experience and the satisfaction of being involved in something that interests you. If you feel that you could benefit others by 'Gifting' your time then browse through some of the new opportunities on offer.

Get on Board is an England-wide campaign, which sets out to raise the profile of trusteeship and inspire more people to volunteer their time in this vital role within voluntary and community organisations.

Trustees are the people responsible for ensuring that an organisation has a clear strategy, that it remains true to its original vision, and that it complies with all the necessary rules and legal obligations. Collectively, trustees are known as the board, and they have a number of formal roles and responsibilities, which include appointing key people and keeping a check on the organisation's finances and activities. Trustees play a vital role in the success of charities and community organisations of every size. Their effort touches virtually every one of us in one way or another.

Charity and community organisation boards need people with a wide range of expertise and backgrounds. If you have personal experience of the issues a charity tackles or are part of the community it works in, have professional skills or management experience, then you have a unique combination of expertise and perspectives to offer.

Trusteeship isn't just a great way to make a real difference to a cause you care about. As a respected and responsible role, it is also a great route to develop new professional skills, gain experience and work with new networks.
