Advertise Your Organisation's Volunteering Opportunities

It's entirely FREE!

Advertising volunteering opportunities through the CVS Cheshire East Volunteering Hub is entirely free for any and all VCFS organisations! All you need is a CVS Volunteer Mangers Account. You can request a CVS Volunteer managers account below; all requests are subject to review before activation by a member of the CVS team. Pending review accounts are generally activated within three working days.  

We promote volunteering and your organisation's opportunities over four platforms.

CVS currently (Jan 2020) has over 1000 individuals register their interest in volunteering through our website, with around 200 visits to our Cheshire East volunteering opportunities pages each week! Join the hundreds of other local VCFS organisations successfully recruiting volunteers through our website and add some more personnel to your team. 

Inspiring volunteering within the Cheshire East community is one of the CVS mission statements. We do a lot of work with our CVS Member organisations and the general public in promoting and encouraging people into volunteering, part of this work includes hosting a volunteer recruitment area on our website. Here members of the public can register their interest in volunteering within the local community and apply for advertised roles. 

'Finding new volunteers for our lunch club in Knutsford is notoriously difficult. I was therefore delighted to get two enquires in the first week of using the new CVS provided Volunteer recruitment pages and a further enquiry the following week. All these enquiries are being followed up and are all looking very positive. This response far exceeds anything I have experienced before from previous attempts to publicise our volunteer vacancies' 

- Yvonne Baker, St John's Wood Lunch Club, Knutsford
