Volunteer Centre Swindon

Volunteer Centre Swindon's primary function is to match individuals and groups interested in volunteering with appropriate opportunities in the local community. For volunteers we provide: one-to-one advice and guidance at our drop-in centre, referral to an appropriate organisation, support and encouragement, followup and monitoring, and easy access to a variety of volunteering opportunities. For organisations we provide: the promotion of volunteering as an enjoyable activity which benefits both the volunteer and the community, the advertisement of specific opportunities on behalf of local groups, active recruitment of potential volunteers for local groups, development of good practice in all aspects of working with volunteers, organisation of a regular Volunteer Co-ordinators' Forum, and updates on any policy issues that may affect the organisation or its volunteers.
