I need volunteers

The Leicester Volunteer Centre is a free resource for organisations who wish to promote their volunteering opportunities to attract potential volunteers.

All volunteer opportunities registered with us are advertised through our drop in service (which receives over 2,500 visitors a year) and goes on the National Volunteering web site www.do-it.org.uk.

If you have not worked with the Leicester Volunteer Centre before and would like to register your volunteer opportunities with us, please fill in the Organisation Registration Form document attached and an Opportunity Registration Form document below for each opportunity and send them to us via post or email. You will be contacted by a member of the Volunteering Team to discuss how we will work together to support volunteers into their role with you.

From this page you can also download a Best Practice Guide and Volunteering and the Law booklet which will give you all the information you need to recruit volunteers.

Good Practice Guide to Involving Volunteering

These guidelines are intended to assist organisations with the effective management of volunteers. Good practice does not require any specialist knowledge. Mostly it takes common sense and the imaginative ability to put you in the position of volunteer. How would you like to be treated? Are you made to feel welcome and useful?
