Free new digital platform to help charities recruit the next generation of volunteers
To help grow volunteer participation and mobilise the next generation of volunteers, Royal Voluntary Service has secured £5 million pounds of funding from players of People’s Postcode Lottery to develop a major new digital volunteering platform.
The aim of the platform is to inspire the next generation of volunteers by providing seamless access to volunteering roles, and to enable charities to recruit and retain the support they need. It will build on and enhance the vital work already happening at a local and national levels by showcasing opportunities from a wide range of charities large and small.
The platform will be completely free for charities to use. In the first phase, it will be available to registered charities big and small and later on, grassroots community groups and local infrastructure organisations will be invited to join the platform.
You can find out more about the platform on the RVS website where you can sign up to attend a short webinar on 30 July and register to stay up-to-date about the project as it progresses.
