Organisations

If your voluntary, community, faith or social enterprise (VCFSE) organisation is looking to involve volunteers, Volunteer Brum is a great way to advertise your volunteering roles, connect with potential volunteers and share your roles straight to your social media channels.


Once you have created an account, you can post your roles on the Volunteer Brum platform for free. Potential volunteers can then contact you directly if they would like to find out more or get involved. Create an account to get started!
