Volunteer Centre Salford offers support for Salford residents, organisations, and groups whose services are for the benefit of the people of Salford.
We work with voluntary, community, social enterprise, public and private organisations. We are happy to advertise volunteering opportunities from organisations outside Salford, that 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.
