Are you looking for volunteers?
VCC can offer support for organisations that are new to recruiting volunteers and also help recruit volunteers. There are always a few volunteer opportunities at VAC and we advertise volunteer opportunities in the weekly e-bulletin.
Employee volunteering opportunities
For volunteering opportunities, or to find volunteers, Volunteer Centre Camden offers a brokerage service, as well as a range of other services and training to help organisations develop their volunteering strategy and development.
Trustees
Trustees are unpaid and so can be thought of as volunteers. Voluntary Action Camden offers training for voluntary management committee members (trustees) in partnership with the Mary Ward Centre. The course, Goverance in the VCS, runs every spring. VAC also runs an event for trustees during Trustees’ Week (1st week of November) and also supports a network of trustees in Camden on Meetup.
Informal Volunteering
There are a wealth of informal volunteering opportunities our there – including; being a carer; supporting the NHS; getting involved in a sports, arts, or hobby club; getting involved online; get involved with a Trades Union, a campaign; or ‘friends’ group supporting your local park, school, or library. Take a look at our Social Action pages for ideas.
