All Volunteering

World AIDS Day is a global health day held on the 1 December each year. It's an opportunity for us to unite in the fight against HIV, support people living with HIV and remember people who have lost their lives to HIV/AIDS.

Manchester World AIDS Partnership brings together key organisations across the City, to mark World AIDS Day each year.

We want every Manchester resident to be HIV aware.

Being HIV aware means:
• Knowing the facts about HIV
• Challenging HIV stigma and discrimination
• If you're sexually active, testing regularly for HIV

DBS Manchester at the Gaddum Centre has ended the free DBS checking service currently being offered to referred organisations through Volunteer Centre Manchester.

From October 1, 2013, the charges are as follows:

Volunteer checks £10
Non-Volunteer £15 (plus DBS certificate charges)
ID check £10

This still represents good value for money and DBS Manchester at The Gaddum Centre will, however, continue to train and advise customers on how to complete the application forms and conduct identity checks.

Volunteer Infrastructure Project (VIP) aims to work with organisations and individuals to build capacity and ability to support volunteers in delivery of youth work, projects and activities in central district.

The Prince’s Trust Team Programme based at The Manchester College’s Fallowfield site is currently looking for worthwhile projects in the community for its students to complete.

Perhaps there’s a local youth club or community centre in need of refurbishment or an area of land or community garden that could do with a makeover.
