We champion rewarding volunteering opportunities and promote volunteering as a force for change and social good. Want a great Volunteer opportunity welcoming patients, staff and visitors to Royal Marsden Hospital? ClementJames is looking for University of London students to act as mentors and role models to young people. Open Age is looking for admin volunteers to welcome members, manage post, provide admin support, and more. I currently volunteer for Volunteer Centre Kensington and Chelsea, as a Volunteer Advisor, helping their Core services to match volunteers with organisations.
Services
Our multicultural team is made up of staff and volunteers from countries around the world, bringing their unique skills and expertise to the centre. Working in such a diverse team allows us to learn from one another and share ideas throughout our projects. We exist to champion rewarding volunteering opportunities and promote volunteering as a force for change and social good. To build the capacity of local people and organisations by empowering our community to realise their potential through volunteering.
In its first year, the (then) Volunteer Workers' Bureau sourced volunteering opportunities for 78 people and worked with 53 charities across London. It delivered that work on an income of 232.11 - all of it from donations. There were no paid staff members, but a team of 21 volunteers (mostly working out of their own homes) helped with interviews, telephone calls and clerical work.
I think the world can be a much better place, and that all of us have a role to play in making it better for everyone. I've tried to play my part in various ways at different times, starting as a volunteer adviser with Citizens Advice and continuing my volunteering as a charity trustee and school governor ever since.
We may be biased, but we love volunteering! We're fortunate enough to see the effect volunteering can have on not only an individual but the community at large. People volunteer for many different reason; whether you have some free time and want to make a difference, or you're looking to develop new skills and build on existing experience - whatever the reason we're here to help.
