What Our Project Volunteers, Brokered Volunteers & Groups Supported With Volunteering Say About Our Service...

What Is The Volunteering for Wellbeing & Community Hub?

The Volunteering for Wellbeing & Community Hub at BPRCVS is the place to go for all things volunteering.
What we don't know about volunteering isn't worth knowing!
Whether you're an individual looking for voluntary opportunities or a VCFSE group or organisation looking to recruit volunteers, we can help.

The Only Officially Accredited Volunteer Centre In East Lancashire

BPRCVS has recently been awarded the new Volunteer Centre Quality Accreditation (VCQA) mark from the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA).
We are the only Volunteer Centre throughout East Lancashire, and maybe even beyond, that has passed the quality control checks as set by NAVCA to achieve the quality accreditation kite mark. This means we operate to exceptionally high standards and fulfil NAVCA's desired criteria.

How Do I Volunteer?

It's really easy to get started on your volunteering journey.
We've recently launched a brand-new website dedicated to volunteering which is really easy to use.
You can search for opportunities using your postcode, keywords, and filter opportunities based on your interests and the activities you'd like to do.
Create an account and you can even submit your enquiry online which we'll then review and pass on to the group and organisation. We act as the middle-man between to make the process as effective and efficient as possible.

How Do We Recruit Volunteers?

The Volunteering for Wellbeing & Community Hub operates a brokerage service whereby we will help you to find suitable volunteers for your group, organisation or project, and provide support on all things volunteering.

The best way to recruit volunteers is to register with our brand-new volunteering platform, Get Volunteering.
Create a profile and you can publish opportunities as and when you need to. All opportunities will be available on the dedicated volunteering website which is designed to make it much easier for volunteers to find the roles that suit them best. This means you get more of the right volunteers to support the work you do. 
It's really easy, and it's completely free, so sign up today and get your opportunities in front of the hundreds of potential volunteers waiting for opportunities just like yours!
