Organisation providing volunteering opportunities in the Royal Borough.

Their Mission

Volunteer Centre Chelsea and Kensington aim to champion rewarding volunteering opportunities and promote volunteering as a force for change and social good.

Their goal is to promote volunteering opportunities that have a positive impact on volunteers, charities and the community. They think that getting involved in the community makes people feel better about themselves and others. We also think that our local charities and community groups can grow and become stronger through the support that volunteers provide.

What they do

• connect volunteers with organisations that need help
• provide guidance, including courses, for organisations in good practice in managing and supporting their volunteers
• hold an annual awards ceremony which recognises the difference volunteers make
• run a back-to-work job club supporting people with job search skills
• organise events: conferences, training and forums which promote positive volunteer management
• work in partnerships with other volunteer-based projects in the borough and other parts of London to broker high quality volunteering opportunities
• run recruitment campaigns on behalf of local organisations
• raise awareness of volunteering throughout the borough as an activity that everyone can get involved in
