Volunteering

Most of us here in Manchester are inclined to lend a hand, help those in need and support one another when times are tough - but lots of us also just don’t know where to start.

That is where the Volunteer Centre Manchester comes in.
Each Wednesday sees a fresh wave of Manchester folks in one of the Volunteer Centre’s weekly inductions, all of whom are looking to volunteer and give their time to help voluntary organisations in the city.

Listen to John's story of what a day in the life of a Back on Track Volunteer looks and feels like. 

Having benefitted from their courses in the past, John is now a dedicated volunteer. 

Established by the community in 1977, Cheetham Hill Advice Centre (CHAC) is a busy neighbourhood advice centre in Manchester providing face-to-face legal advice to residents.

CHAC is an incorporated charity and want to recruit a Treasurer to join their board of trustees. All trustees volunteer their time to support the centre manager and staff team.  The Treasurer provides financial oversight of the charity.

Voices For All are recruiting new trustees for its Board, which offers governance and trategic leadership to the organisation. Voices For All are a mental health and wellbeing charity that provides a wide range of support through our activity groups. The charity began life in 2011 as Rochdale Boroughwide User Forum as a service user led organisation.

Macc is a charity and put simply, our purpose is the city of Manchester. We work to inspire, enable and support the people of Manchester to get involved and build the communities where we live, work and grow. We are the support and development organisation for local charities, voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises.

We have been asked by colleagues at Manchester City Council and Manchester Health & Care Commissioning to circulate the following information:

As part of the Joint (MCC and MHCC) review of the VCS infrastructure contracts we have with Macc, we are running some focus group sessions in September which we welcome you to attend. This will provide an opportunity to meet with us face to face and tell us about your experiences working with Macc and to help shape what the future VCS infrastructure support contract should look like.
