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.
Does your organisation or group need a place to meet? Our meeting room is available during the day and in the evening.
We provide a CRB Disclosure Service. If your organisation has requirement for CRB checks, Volunteer Centre Glossop is an umbrella body for the Criminal Records Bureau.
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.
