Employer volunteer guidance released
Volunteering England has published a new set of guidance to help businesses, which may include those working in the public sector, launch employer-supported volunteering initiatives, it has been revealed.
Available on do-it.org.uk, the service is targeted specifically towards small and medium-sized enterprises and will assist them in sourcing volunteering opportunities that charities believe are suitable for such programmes.
Cathy McBain, head of employer-supported volunteering at Volunteering England, said: "It’s a myth that small businesses aren’t interested in volunteering.
"They just face very different challenges from larger companies and this new set of resources meets many of their requirements."
Such news could be of interest to those looking on a regional recruitment portal for opportunities to work in the voluntary sector.
In related news, it was recently revealed that GoldStar had launched the Good Practice Handbook advising charity and voluntary workers on how best to work with people from disadvantaged parts of society.
