Support for Organisations

Does your non-profit need volunteers? Do you want some help drafting role descriptions? Not sure which policies you should have in place?

We offer best practice support and guidance on how to get the most out of your volunteer programme. We can help with anything from drafting role descriptions and policies, to promoting your roles to our network of volunteers and via our various platforms.
