Volunteers

Have you some time to give? Would you like to make a difference to a worthwhile cause?

REACH can help you use your skills where they are really needed. We have about 4,000
opportunities on our database and we expect to place more than 1,500 volunteers in a year.

How our service works

(Please note: We can only accept registrations from potential volunteers based in the UK.)

1. You fill in an electronic registration form, telling us where
   you are, when you’re available and what your skills and interests are. We will acknowledge
   your registration.
2. From this information we produce an initial shortlist of opportunities,
   which we will send to you within 7 days.
3. At this stage you will also be able to search the REACH database directly via a weblink to
   view the opportunities in your area.
4. Once you have identified a role that interests you, we will arrange for the voluntary
   organisation to contact you.
5. We will continue to send you potential opportunities until your needs have been met.

If you need advice

You may wish to talk to someone at our main office in London before you decide to register.

We have a UK-wide network of regional managers, who are themselves volunteers, whom you can contact for general information about local volunteering opportunities.
