Making volunteering more accessible in Cheshire and Warrington
Cheshire West Voluntary Action (CWVA), Community and Voluntary Services (CVS) Cheshire East and Warrington Voluntary Action (VA) have come together to launch a new volunteering platform for Cheshire and Warrington.
There’s often a volunteering opportunity for everyone based on your skills and interests, helping you improve your health and wellbeing, connect with others, develop new skills, have a sense of giving back to the community and much more.
This new platform will provide a central place for people in Cheshire and Warrington to start a volunteering search, showcasing almost 250 different volunteering opportunities in the region.
People interested in volunteering will follow the same process as before when registering and applying for opportunities, but they’ll now have a wider range of opportunities to browse in the region.
While this platform will now be a central place for volunteering in Cheshire and Warrington, CWVA, CVS Cheshire East and Warrington VA will still support community organisations in their area with accessing the platform and advertising their volunteering opportunities.
Kate Little, Deputy Chief Executive of CVSCE, said:"Volunteering has so many benefits for individuals and society: it's a great way to learn new skills, make friends and give back to your local community. We want to make it as easy as possible for people across Cheshire and Warrington to access volunteering opportunities, which is why we have launched a joint volunteering platform covering the Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Warrington areas.
Collaboration between voluntary sector organisations is increasingly important, and this is a great example of three local infrastructure organisations coming together to build something that benefits the whole of the Cheshire and Warrington subregion."
