We understand how crucial volunteers are to the running of VCSE organisations. Therefore, we want to help you recruit the best and most appropriate volunteers for your organisation.

However, recruiting and retaining volunteers can be difficult, but we have the tools and experience to support you with this.

We can provide support with areas such as:

  • Essential policies and procedures
  • Specific requirements for youth volunteering
  • Specific requirements for volunteer opportunities for refugees and asylum seekers
  • Safer volunteer recruitment
  • Creating opportunities for Employment Supported Volunteering

The Volunteer Centre can provide advice and guidance to VCSE organisations on all aspects of working with volunteers ensuring best practice is always followed.

Our website is still under development and we are working hard creating our members area. For now if you would like to list a Volunteer Opportunity please complete the form using the button below.

Volunteer Coordinator meetings

The Volunteer Centre facilitates a meeting for Volunteer Coordinators from VCSE, statutory, and private sector organisations to collaborate in Barnsley.  

The purpose of the meeting is to:

  • provide opportunities to network
  • share information and good practice around volunteer management
  • stay up to date on each other’s activities and to provide opportunities for mutual support.

Meetings are held every 2 months, and it alternates between Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. Location changes depending on which partner is hosting the meeting at their venue. To book on or see the dates of the Volunteer Coordinators meetings visit our events calendar.

To speak to a member of our volunteer team please email volunteer@barnsleycvs.org.uk
