Volunteer Centre Glossop and District is part of a national network of Volunteer Centres. We recognise the value that volunteering brings and provide services to both groups and individuals.

 

We will work with your group to support you to bring the best out of your volunteers, support them and make sure that all your work is safe. We will also look at new volunteering opportunities and how you can show the value of what you do. We provide training, networking events, recruitment of volunteers and best practice development.

 

We also help people to get involved in volunteering across all local organisations. Our organisation has a commitment to YOU as a volunteer. We will provide all the information and support you need to make your volunteering a success.

Contact us or visit the Centre at Howard Town House on High Street East to talk to us in person.

What do we do?

The Centre works in a number of ways. We provide lots of different services both the individuals and groups who work with volunteers. We are accredited by Volunteering England and provide the six core functions of a Volunteer Centre.

 

We also have some direct services. Through our Time Out and Car Scheme services volunteers help elderly or disabled people to get out of the house, do their shopping, meet friends, socialise and get to medical appointments.

 

We also run a club for people with learning disabilities and club nights for young people. In addition we are also developing intergenerational work and dry nights at local pubs.

 

Volunteers create a weekly Talking Newstape for blind listeners and a self-help group supports Visually Impaired Persons (VIPs).

 

A variety of practical services and resources are available to support local organisations that involve volunteers, including a meeting room available for hire.

Free training

Support and supervision of volunteers

 

This session will be very hands on and fun.  

 

It will be a chance to explore and gain practical tips and strategies for dealing with some real issues that crop up with volunteers.  

It will give you an opportunity to think about your own skills and how to develop them further.

 

The course is on Friday July 17th 2009.  It will be held here at the Volunteer Centre.

Starting at 10am and finishing at 1pm with a vegetarian lunch and cake.

 

This will be a good opportunity to meet other colleagues and share experiences of supporting and supervising your volunteers.
