Be a Saint - Volunteer

Volunteer Now in partnership with Business in the Community is organising a day of voluntary action on Friday16 March 2012 entitled Be a Saint – Volunteer! This annual event encourages employers to release their employees (in teams) to undertake volunteering projects in the community.

Many local charities have already received valuable help with a range of projects. Private and public sector organisations are now realising that team volunteering brings the opportunity for their employees to ‘get together’ away from the usual work environment and use their skills and experience to help others. Projects must be time limited to one day, be realistic in the nature of the work and offer a positive experience of volunteering. Past projects have included conservation / gardening work, decorating, mural painting and DIY.

If your organisation has a challenge which could be promoted as part of the programme or if you would like advice on how to benefit contact Lindsay Armstrong [email protected]  or call 028 9020 0851
