Services we can offer to Local Organisations & Groups

In this section we outline the different kinds of support that we can offer to Voluntary Organisations and Community Groups in the Gosport area:

Is your Organisation New to Involving Volunteers?

Your organisation or group maybe new to involving volunteers or you might be looking to improve your volunteer arrangements. If this is the case, then you will need to adopt some new policies and procedures which can seem like a daunting task, but we can help you with the various things you may need to consider. We can also provide you with copies of some of the documents you might need under the New to Involving Volunteers section.

Does your Organisation Need Volunteers?

If you need volunteers to help with your organisation then you can advertise your voluntary vacancies with us. We can then promote these opportunities to potential volunteers by uploading these to the National Volunteering Website, www.do-it.org.uk

Please see the Register Your Organisation or Opportunity section.
