Volunteering

What is volunteering?

Volunteering is an activity undertaken without pay to benefit others and the local community.

What is a Volunteer Centre?

Flintshire Volunteer Centre has 6 core functions:

  1. Promoting and celebrating volunteering
  2. Developing good practice
  3. Developing volunteering opportunities
  4. Policy and campaigning
  5. Strategic development of volunteering
  6. Brokerage

 We are here to support you and organisations in your volunteering journey!

What are the benefits of volunteering?

  • Benefits for an individual: building confidence and self-esteem, developing new skills, making positive relationships and increasing personal development, career development, something to do in your spare time.
  • Benefits for an organisation: volunteering brings added value through the personal qualities, skills and time given by volunteers.
  • Community benefits include: building social capital by developing local service provision, which increases social wellbeing, participation, inclusion and social cohesion.

How long before you can start?

All organisations have varying timescales with regard to volunteer recruitment. There may be a group induction or mandatory training programme that needs to be undertaken before you start your volunteering role. Organisations will usually seek two references and if you want to volunteer with vulnerable people or children, organisations will carry out a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, for more information visit www.wcva.org.uk.  You might want to find out if there is any supervised activity you can take part in while you wait.

If you do have a conviction, it will not automatically exclude you from volunteering.
