YATE
(BS17) VOLUNTARY LINK is the Volunteer Bureau for Yate and district: if
you are interested in giving up a little (or a lot) of your spare time
we can advise you about the opportunities best suited to your skills and
interests and help you find volunteering placements…you may already be
a volunteer, but you need some advice and support - we will do our best
to help you.
Our
work doesn't stop there….if your group needs volunteers, why not register
with us? It costs nothing but a few minutes of your time and we can advertise
your needs in our office, the local media and also a national volunteering
Internet database.
At
our office in Yate Library we also have a library of resources for community
groups, such as information about starting and managing groups and low
cost photocopying. The Community Resource and Information Base is manned
by volunteers who, along with the Volunteer Bureau Co-ordinator, will
be pleased to help you.
The
Volunteer Bureau was started in 1985 and is supported by South Gloucestershire
Council Community Services. We are members of the National Association
of Volunteer Bureaux and network with other Bureaux, as well as organisations
and groups within the voluntary and statutory sectors. The Bureau is managed
by co-ordinator Carole Zorzo and overseen by a Management Committee.
BS17
Voluntary Link is currently working with Bristol training group Progress
to provide training workshops for volunteers in the area. For more information,
