What do Volunteer Bureaux do?
Volunteer Bureaux enable people to do voluntary work.
Bureaux offer an advice and placement service to people who are interested in becoming volunteers and advice, training and support to organisations who seek volunteer help. In this way Bureaux try to ensure that volunteers are not discriminated against and that volunteers are supported in their voluntary activity.
Bureaux contact local organisations who involve volunteers and collect information on these organisations and the volunteering opportunities available. Bureaux also work with these organisations to develop new volunteering opportunities.
.
The bureau can put you in touch with many types of community or voluntary organisations which involve volunteers. These include:
- local and national charities
- hospitals and day-care centres
- supporting learning disabled people at college, swimming etc.
- campaign groups
- environmental organisations
- counselling and advice agencies
There are also many opportunities for one-to-one voluntary work. These can include:
- visiting / befriending people in their own homes
- gardening
- driving
- taking people out in their wheelchairs
