If you need to recruit volunteers, you can advertise your opportunities and track and manage your volunteer applications online via our Volunteering Portal.

If you are new to the Portal please create your online account here. You will be asked to create a Volunteer Manager account, complete your organisation's profile and then you will be able to add your opportunities to the Portal. 

If you have already set up your online account, log in here.

If you need help registering on the portal please contact Claire or Grace on 0161 787 7795 or email volunteer@salfordcvs.co.uk 

We can also promote via our social media platforms Twitter and Facebook - tag us in your posts and we will be sure to share or retweet.
