At the Volunteer Centre, our aim is to help people to become involved in voluntary activities. We have 120 organisation located mainly, in the Borough of Crewe and Nantwich. The 'opportunities' can be found on the do-it.org data base.
People wishing to volunteer can either look on the do-it site and apply via this site or can telephone the office on 01270 211545 to make an appointment to see Sue Brown, Volunteer Co-Ordinator for Crewe and Nantwich.
Volunteers are interviewed at the this office, and after discussion their details are given to the organisation/s of their choice.
For further details please contact the office between 10.00am - 4.30pm Monday to Thursday. Appointments available on Fridays.
Voluntary work is work done for no payment other than expenses, if paid by the organisation. But, at the Volunteer Centre, we like to encourage organisations, who find volunteers through us, to treat their volunteers well.
Voluntary organisations in Crewe and Nantwich include social groups, black and asian community groups, campaign groups, environmental organisations, counselling and advice groups, local and national charities.
The work that volunteers are required for is extremely varied and can be with people, animals, on environmental projects, or to undertake administrative tasks. Working on an executive committee as treasurer, chair, secretary or just a member. In a shop, as a team or one to one. There is so much to choose from, that's why we're here to help people find it!
Volunteers work the hours that suit them. The only thing that is required of all volunteers is that they are reliable, that they are regular and that they get involved.
What is there to do?
Opportunities exist to work with the young, the old and those in between, people with physical or learning difficulties or people who are homeless, victims of crime, prisoners, ex-offenders, bereaved people, or the families or carers of any of these people. There is environmental work for those who enjoy working in the open; driving work, telephone work, catering, working in shops or offices. There are many different types of work in many different places. Most activities will give you training for the tasks a volunteer may not have full experience in and half price courses are available for registered volunteers at South Cheshire College. Any of the opportunities are there to be tried out. You are the volunteer; if you do not enjoy one type of work, you can always come back and we will find you another.
