Looking for volunteers? Or looking for your next volunteering opportunity?
You need the Knowsley Volunteer Hub.
VCFSE Sector Organisation?
The Knowsley Volunteer Hub can help you to:
- reach and recruit new volunteers
- onboard new volunteers
- manage existing volunteers
Sector Organisations can:
- Add existing opportunities – the organisations can display their role/s as flexible in order to match the varying day to day availability, or they can arrange regular daily time slots for potential volunteers. This will help them to present and understand their exact needs, as well as making it easier for volunteers to choose if they are free to help sector organisations out at those times.
- Invite their existing volunteers to register on the system and then they can manage who is volunteering on which role and when.
- Track new volunteering applications and then approve those they engage with.
- Record how much time is being given by their volunteers, which can help with funding applications and reports.
- Give feedback to their volunteers on how they are doing in their roles – supporting good practice.
- Receive feedback from volunteers on their experiences.
- Award digital badges to volunteers in recognition of their work and contributions.
- Contact their volunteers in a group or individually via email
- Have an individual profile page eg. Whitechapel Centre

- Find hours to suit any lifestyle
- Log the hours they contribute
- Find opportunities that suit their skills
- Receive reminders via email, text and in app messages
