Volunteering Opportunities & Vacancies

 

Woking Scouts & Explorer Scouts challenge team

Volunteering is at the heart of the experience of the voluntary, community and faith sector.  The encouragement of volunteering is a national priority.

The new coalition Government has initiated a programme called 'The Big Society' a plan of social responsibility and community action. 

For more see: http://www.surreyyouthfocus.org.uk/keyreferences

Volunteering as a national priority was reflected in the Labour Government’s creation of a National Indicators for Volunteering (NI 7), and Encouraging Young people to participate in Positive Activities, including volunteering (NI 110). The practical application of this policy was to set up a national volunteering programme for 16-25 year olds.

In Surrey this role is undertaken by SurreyVinvolved (formerly Millenium Volunteers) who are based at the YMCA at Redhill but also have offices at the YMCAs in Guildford, and Woking.

Vinvolved has the challenging task of finding some 8,000 volunteering opportunities for young people over the three years to 2011. To achieve this they need offers of appropriate volunteering placements, and young people to volunteer.

There’s loads more information on their website – www.surreyvinvolved.org. or email to info@surreyvinvolved.org or phone 01737 784970 (Redhill).
