Volunteer Centre Newcastle aims to enhance the quality, quantity, and impact of volunteering locally. We achieve this by:
- Supporting people by identifying suitable volunteering roles that match their interests, skills and experience. We host the City’s volunteering database on the Volunteer Centre Newcastle website.
- Enabling places and people to connect, allowing the power of volunteering to impact our communities
- Providing infrastructure help and support to any size of charity, group or organisation that needs help to recruit volunteers, or advice or guidance on volunteering best practice. We are always on hand when a volunteering need may arise
- Championing volunteering, highlighting local need and issues through strategic meetings, events, and forums
