The Volunteer Centre Carlisle:
Promotes volunteering Promotes good practice in working with volunteers Advocate the rights and responsibilities of volunteers Liaise and work in partnership with local voluntary organisations Offer, where possible, voluntary opportunities to all sections of the community Provide information and advice on a wide range of volunteering opportunities
We offer confidential interviewing space to all volunteers on a one-to-one basis to find out what type of voluntary work volunteers are interested in doing. This is followed by a matching process of volunteer to vacancies available at that time. Carlisle Volunteer Bureau is made aware of vacancies through its close contact with Carlisle CVS member organisations who may be in need of volunteers. We provide information and advice on a wide range of volunteering opportunities which can also be provided over the telephone.
Volunteering opportunities are many and varied, ranging from home visits, participating on a youth offending panel, supporting people with learning disabilities, conservation work, shopping, driving, being a mentor, fundraising, office work, shop work, first aid or helping in a tea bar - plus many more!
