Services for Organisations

If your organisation already involves volunteers, or is thinking about involving volunteers the Volunteer Centre can  help and support you with recruiting and managing your volunteers. We are set up to deal with basic queries like 'where can we get volunteers from', right through to providing answers to some of the more complex legal questions about volunteers and the law. We aim to provide support to the smallest organisations run only by volunteers, as well as meeting the needs of the larger volunteer involving organisations in the Blackpool, Wyre & Fylde area. We serve all Voluntary, Community and Public sector organisations that involve volunteers.

We can set up an appointment with you at the Volunteer Centre or your own premises to discuss your needs and how you can recruit, manage and support your volunteers.

Promoting your volunteer opportunities

We are set up to refer potential volunteers to your organisation by providing them with information about the volunteer opportunities which you have provided us with.

We operate a number of services for volunteer enquirers including:

	one-to-one pre-booked appointments
	appointments for people with extra support needs.
	daily drop-in sessions
	outreach sessions in local venues and at events.

We can promote your opportunities on our own website blackpoolvolunteers.org.uk, Blackpool's community website blackpool4me.com and through the national volunteering database, 'www.do-it.org.uk'. We are also the local referral point for potential volunteers from the BBC's Timebank campaigns. We also promote the Volunteer Centre and volunteering through articles in local newsletters and publications, leaflet distribution and presentations to colleges and agencies.
