How we can help you

The Gloucestershire Volunteer Centre helps local voluntary and community organisations increase their capacity to use volunteers by:

Brokerage - we support and advise potential volunteers to match them to the appropriate volunteering opportunity.

Marketing volunteering - we promote volunteering through supporting events locally, regionally and nationally. We have a good relationship with the local media and publicity materials to promote volunteering.

Good Practice Development - we work one to one and hold training events for organisations on good practice in working with volunteers.

Developing Volunteering Opportunities - we work with organisations in the voluntary, community and private sector to develop the potential of volunteering in the community. We are active in supporting organisations to implement their Equal Opportunities or Diversity policies to encourage a more diverse source of volunteers and expand volunteering to groups who traditionally face barriers to volunteering.

Policy Response and Campaigning - we hold information on current issues affecting volunteering. We work with and react to all the agencies that develop policies which impact on volunteering.

Strategic Development of Volunteering - we are actively involved with implementing the County’s plans within the Government’s ChangeUp programme and the Compact Code on Volunteering.
