We are here to support, promote and develop voluntary and community action in Middlesbrough

My organisation needs volunteers

The Volunteering Academy is a virtual hub offering support to make volunteering easy for everyone.

With all things volunteering in one place, the Volunteering Academy aims to remove any barriers to volunteering through advice and support. If you use volunteers, we can help you:

  • Promote your roles using TeamKinetic
    This free tool helps you recruit, retain and recognise the impact of your volunteers, all in one place.
  • Train staff and volunteers
    We offer training, resources and events, online and face-to-face.
  • Develop your volunteer offer
    We can help with policies and best practices, or create new, flexible and more diverse volunteering opportunities.
