County Durham Volunteer Centre

County Durham Volunteer Centre The Volunteer Centre is managed by Durham Community Action. We advertise volunteering and find suitable volunteer opportunities for individuals

We support volunteering across a wide spectrum of interests

This includes support and training for volunteers who are actively providing local services, such as managing community buildings, running self-help groups, contributing as trustees with local charities, or co-ordinating local clubs and groups. We also collaborate with other organisations and agencies that recruit and benefit from the wo

rk of volunteers. We support organisations, large and small, to help them recruit volunteers and to provide them with advice on policies and procedures, so that volunteers and organisations can flourish. Our help includes coordination and provision of background information, training, checks, policies and procedures that organisations and volunteers need to operate and to thrive.
