The Volunteer Centre Brighton and Hove helps to identify volunteering opportunities for people that want to volunteer in not-for-profit organisations. We also have details of volunteering opportunities from organisations seeking help.
The benefits of Volunteering:
- It's fun
- It improves your health and happiness
- You can try something different
- Make new friends
- Learn new skills
- Develop the skills you already have
- Get involved in your community
- Help local people and causes
Joining the Dots:
City Volunteering Strategy 2010-2015
We are very pleased to be presenting 'Joining The Dots - A triple impact volunteering strategy for Brighton & Hove 2010-2015'.
The journey that has brought us to this point has been interesting and exciting and the end result is down to the energy and enthusiasm shown by a huge number of people, not least the considerable numbers who took time to share their views throughout our consultation work.

What happens next…
The Strategy is moving through a sign-off process and Cabinet approval in July 2010 is pending. The Action Plan that accompanies the Strategy is in the final stages of preparation, with an Equality Impact Assessment being carried out as part of this process. This work will continue over early Summer.
The future…
The Volunteering Strategy Steering Group will be continuing to meet and oversee the implementation of the action plan over the next five years. We look forward to moving on with areas of activity that have already been started, such as the Volunteer Co-ordinators’ Forum, as we well as bringing the rest of the action plan in to reality.
