Welcome

The Volunteer Centre - Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire - is a local volunteering development agency working independently to support organisations from the voluntary, community and public sectors. In our core work we promote, support and develop volunteering and aim to make a positive impact on the quality of the volunteering experience for individual volunteers and organisations that work with them.

We do this by: 
Collating and publicising volunteering opportunities Supporting volunteers and helping them to make informed choicesProviding information, training and support for volunteer involving organisationsPromoting good practice and other quality issuesDeveloping new volunteering initiatives

Publicity and outreach work is carried out at venues in the Chesterfield and North East Derbyshire area as we make our service accessible to everyone. We provide extra support to those volunteers who need it for whatever reason and ensure our service is accessible for people with disabilities. We are working to recognised quality standards and an equal opportunities policy underpins all our work. If you would like to know more about volunteering opportunities in your area then you can contact us in a number of ways; by phone, post, email or best of all popping into the centre for a face to face interview. The Volunteer Centre is open 9 till 5 Monday to Friday.

Some 200 volunteer-involving organisations are registered with us and we facilitate the Forum for Managers of Volunteers. If you would like to know more about the forum, volunteering opportunities or any aspect of our work you can contact us using the details on the left.
