Volunteer Centre Salford can help you select, recruit and retain volunteers.
What are the benefits of involving Volunteers in your organisation?
- Volunteers provide a diverse pool of experience
- Volunteers help an organisation to achieve its aims and achieve a level of service that could not otherwise be provided
- Volunteers give organisations a wider range of skills to utilise
