Volunteering

Volunteer Centre Manchester has developed a Noticeboard Toolkit that allows organisations and agencies to print and display information about volunteering opportunities.

Some early adopters include: work clubs, housing schemes, libraries, community centres and offices. 

Volunteer Centre Manchester wants to hear from volunteer-involving organisations who have materials about their volunteering, training or development opportunities to be included in the Noticeboard Toolkit.

Dear friend

I need to ask a favour. Can I have 15 minutes of your time?

Like many other local Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) groups and organisations, Macc is faced with increasing demand for our services while key funders have significantly cut our funding. We anticipate further cuts in future.

Volunteer Centre Manchester are looking for volunteers to support its services in providing information, support and training to Manchester residents who want to volunteer (City Centre office-based and externally) by offering administrative support and signposting to local volunteering opportunities as part of a brokerage service.

For further information, contact Volunteer Centre Manchester on 0161 830 4770 or email: [email protected]
 

The Spirit of Manchester Festival programme has now been released! Check out the map and calendar here. It’s not too late if you want to put on your own event or you can simply support the festival by just coming down to events in your area!

Manchester Carers Forum are looking for volunteers for the Peer Mentoring and Befriending Project, to visit carers on a one to one basis and provide flexible support.

You will be able to signpost to local services which may be of benefit to the carer, making them aware of the support available and help prevent isolation.

Experience of caring in a non professional capacity is required.

Showcasing the spirit of the voluntary and community sector in Manchester

More events have been added to the Spirit of Manchester Festival - a citywide celebration of the amazing and invaluable services delivered by the voluntary organisations, community groups and social enterprises in Manchester.
