Recruiting and Managing Volunteers

We support people who recruit and manage volunteers as part of their day to day role. This includes Volunteer Managers, Coordinators, Administrators and also volunteers, such as leaders of local sports clubs or faith groups.

If your group is looking for volunteers, you can register with the Communities 1st to access the following services.

We actively promote volunteering across the District via our pop-up Volunteer Centres, retirement seminars, our student volunteering programme and stands at community events.
