Volunteer Centre
If you're looking to join the 22 million people in England who already give their time to improve the lives of others, or your organisation needs volunteers to help it carry out its work, then Volunteering Northumberland can help you.
Volunteering Northumberland provides volunteering infrastructure services for the county and is accredited with Volunteering England as providing the six core services of a Volunteer Centre. These are:
- Brokerage – matching volunteers with opportunities
- Marketing – encourage interest in volunteering and take up of opportunities
- Good Practice – promoting this to organisations that involve volunteers
- Developing Opportunities – working with organisations to do this
- Policy Response – campaigning on issues that affect volunteering
- Strategic Development – informing thinking on volunteering, locally and nationally
Our office is in the WCVS building in Ashington where the manager, Charles Tremeer, and development workers, Ann Broome and Andrea McLaughlin, are based. We also have two rural development workers, Claire Heaviside in the west of the county and Terri Bearhope in the north, who are based in the communities they serve. More details can be found on our website.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer or your organisation would like to involve volunteers in its activities, then please get in touch and we will arrange to meet you. The office is open between 9am and 5 pm and appointments can be made at other times and throughout the county. Our local contact details are as follows:
