About the Volunteer Forum
Our approach to volunteering is that it's inclusive, meaningful and impactful, and we want you to get the most out of your volunteering experience.
The purpose of the Forum is to create a platform for volunteers to have a voice in your experience, providing valuable insights to help shape the quality, delivery, and direction of our volunteering developments.

We're looking for new members to join our team!
Who can join:
- Everyone is welcome – the Forum is open to all registered volunteers. If we receive a lot of interest, we will review how the group practically operates.
- We strive to have diverse representation within the Forum, including from different volunteer roles and locations across the UK.
What’s involved:
- Sharing feedback and perspectives on a range of volunteering topics, including recruitment, training, recognition, support and resources.
- Discussing upcoming or developing volunteer projects.
- Offering views and ideas for improving the volunteer experience and growing our volunteer community across the UK.
- Acting as representatives for the Charity by promoting and championing volunteering.
How the Forum works:
- Time is flexible – we’ll get together 3-4 times each year and share occasional opportunities by email as and when they come up.
- Meetings will take place online (Zoom) with possible opportunities to meet face-to-face in the future.
- Our next Volunteer Forum meeting will be held in January 2024.
- You don't have to join the Forum to share your ideas for how we can improve the volunteering experience - tell us your feedback and/or ideas here.
