About Our Community
Empowering volunteers and organizations to make a difference together
Making Volunteering Simple and Accessible
Every community thrives when people come together to help one another. That's what we're here for—making it easy for you to find opportunities that match your interests, skills, and schedule.
We partner with volunteer centres and organizations nationwide to bring you thousands of ways to get involved in your local area.
Every 45 seconds, someone discovers their perfect volunteering opportunity through our platform
This means hundreds of thousands of people each year are connecting with causes they care about. Our research shows something remarkable: over 30% of our volunteers wouldn't have taken that first step without us. That's the power of removing barriers and making volunteering accessible to everyone.
How We Keep This Service Free
Behind this platform is a dedicated team working to ensure you can always find ways to contribute to your community at no cost. We're able to offer this service thanks to the generous support of organizations who believe in the power of volunteering.
Your involvement matters. When you volunteer through our platform, you're not just helping one organization—you're strengthening communities across the country. You're showing that accessible volunteering works.
Recognized for Innovation
In July 2008, we received the Nominet Best Practice Challenge award in the Open Internet category. The judges recognized how we're using technology to create real connections between people who need help and those ready to provide it.
This recognition validates what we see every day: when you make it simple for people to help others, amazing things happen.
Where Our Opportunities Come From
Most opportunities you'll find here come from local Volunteer Centres throughout England. We've provided these trusted organizations with the tools and training they need to share their opportunities directly with you.
National organizations also post opportunities here, giving you access to both local community projects and larger initiatives. Learn more about how organizations can share opportunities on our platform.
Questions About an Opportunity?
Each opportunity listing includes the contact information for the organization offering it. If you've registered and applied online, you'll also find their details in your confirmation email. They're your best resource for specific questions about the role.
