Which organisations do we help?

There are currently more than 350 organisations registered with us that are looking for volunteers. They work on behalf of all sections of the community, but focus particularly on the most vulnerable such as the young, the old, the sick and disabled, and even animals. They include the emergency services, voluntary and community groups, private and public sector organisations, hospitals, care homes, schools, charities and other bodies that are interested in health, the environment, heritage, culture and sport.

We aim to support, promote and develop volunteering opportunities within the Dover district. If you are:

• a local charity
• a voluntary or community group or not for profit organisation,
• a Public Sector organisation
• Private Sector organisation,

we can help you find volunteers and support you with their placements and invite you to register with us. It's FREE!  You may be looking for volunteers to help regularly, or for a one-off event; we aim to help fill all your vacancies. We do not have a pool of volunteers ready and waiting to help, because we focus on matching someone who is interested in volunteering as soon as possible to an organisation that interests them. Having said that, just occasionally we may know of someone that might have a particular interest in helping you.
