Resources for anyone involved with volunteers in Kent

Need a Volunteer?

Your local Volunteer Centre will recruit, place and support local people who want to volunteer.

It will respond to organisations that need volunteer help.

Are you a local charity, community organisation or non-profit making group?
Or perhaps you are a statutory body such as a school or a hospital?
Are there times when you could use voluntary help of some kind?
Do you need more manpower to make a special project happen?

A volunteer could be the answer to your problems

Volunteers add diversity and fresh ideas to organisations.  They are flexible and enthusiastic.  Who doesn’t need an extra pair of hands?

You can use your local Volunteer Centre to attract volunteers and promote your volunteer opportunities.

Typically, a Volunteer Centre can:

• contact volunteers who are registered with them
• use the national volunteering database
• use the Internet, notice boards and regular marketing publications
• use their knowledge of the local community and the local press
• help you with a volunteer agreement
• find the answer to questions you may have

If you are looking to recruit a volunteer then these pages may be of use to you.
