About Volunteer Centre Salford

We work with voluntary, community, social enterprise, public and private organisations. We are happy to advertise volunteering opportunities from organisations outside Salford, tVolunteer Centre staff at a careers fairhat Salford residents would like to engage in.

If you would like to volunteer outside of Salford or if you are looking to recruit volunteers from outside Salford, please get in touch with your local Volunteer Centre. Visit the NCVO website to find your nearest Volunteer Centre.

The five main areas of our work meet the Volunteer Centre Quality Award (VCQA) core functions of a Volunteer Centre:

  1. Strategic development of volunteering - Through the activity of the Volunteer Centre or partnership and its engagement with local networks and decision makers there is a positive environment in which volunteering is flourishing. 
     
  2. Good Practice Resources - Empowering organisations to offer good quality volunteering opportunities is at the heart of what Volunteer Centre Salford does. See our page of resources
     
  3. Developing volunteering opportunities - The activity of the centre or partnership must increase and improve the quantity, quality, and diversity of volunteering locally.
     
  4. Voice of volunteering - Through the Volunteer Centre’s or partnership's activities there is an increased awareness of the issues impacting on volunteering. 
     
  5. Brokerage - Through the Volunteer Centre’s or partnership’s activities the general public and all sectors are better informed about and have access to an effective and efficient brokerage service. We have been awarded Volunteer England Quality Accreditation and have received national recognition for our Volunteering and Diversity program - Towards Excellence. The Centre currently has approximately 400 organisations on its books and is always keen to hear from any new projects in and around Salford that are looking to involve volunteers in their work.
