Have a look at the various ways that you can register with us and choose the one that best suits you...   Online: Wherever you live, to volunteer in your local area go to the Do-It site and register online to browse volunteering opportunities.   If you find something you like the look of your request will then be passed on to whichever Volunteer Centre posted the volunteering role.   Enquiries made this way generally receive a reply within a few working days. In many cases information will be e-mailed  within an hour or so during the standard working week. Please note, it is not an automated service - if you do not get an immediate response do not flood the system by re-sending the request (or telephone at 3am to find out why nobody has got back to you).

Drop-In sessions: We are running drop-in sessions whereby you can just pop in to the office on Dale Street and someone will be able to see you (and you can complete a registration form while you are waiting to be seen). These take place on Tuesday afternoons between 2 and 4 pm and on Thursday mornings between 10:30 and 12:30 lunchtime. Please note that you may have to wait to be seen. Please note that the entrance to the building is on the corner of Dale Street and Fontenoy Street.
				Preparing to Volunteer Are you over 18 years of age and living in Liverpool? Want to do something different and have fun doing it?   Want to gain experience and skills to help you move into work or training? Have you thought about volunteering? Come along to our free Preparing to Volunteer session (dates and venue on the downloadable pdf - see below) The Preparing to Volunteer sessions are specifically designed for people like you. It will enable you to find a suitable volunteering placement and be ready to start volunteering with a voluntary/community organisation. This brief, informal course is aimed at people who have very little or no previous experience of volunteering or work-related activity. The session will be of particular benefit to people who are long term unemployed or newly redundant and who want to explore transferring and using their skills and experience in a voluntary capacity.
