Volunteering

This year, NCVO, are putting the focus back on volunteers through an exciting piece of research looking at their experience of volunteering, to see what learnings they can take to contribute to policy and practice across the sector.

The Maritime Volunteer Service is a recognised national maritime training organisation and a UK registered charity with more than 25 units around the country providing training to nationally and internationally recognised standards, serving local communities especially in times of need or emergency and taking part in resilience exercises ashore and afloat.

"Volunteers’ Week is an annual celebration of the fantastic contribution millions of volunteers make across the UK. It takes place from 1 - 7 June every year."

The volunteer centre marks Volunteers’ Week annually with events and activities in Manchester: issuing certificates, delivering training, marketing campaigns, volunteering fairs etc.

The Volunteer Information Meetings allow you to come along to Childline’s office, meet some of the staff and volunteers and ask any questions you may have. The meetings are a fantastic opportunity for you to find out about their volunteering roles, from the application process through to what it is like to be a volunteer at Childline.

Greater Manchester Community Chaplaincy is looking for a Volunteer to help input their financial data onto a computerised system (Quickbooks). This role would suit people with knowledge or experience of accounts/bookkeeping or those who are currently studying towards an accounting course and need practical experience. However, full training and supervision will be provided.
