Volunteering, with practical guidance, welcoming community and real support
Volunteer Coalition helps people across the UK find the right roles, understand what to expect, and feel supported once they get started — while helping charities welcome and retain committed volunteers.
How we can help you find the right role
Send us your details via our contact form and we’ll help you find local or remote roles that fit your interests, time and confidence.
Tell us what you are looking for
Share what you care about, how much time you have, and how confident you feel, so we can suggest roles that fit you.
Explore roles with real information
See clear, honest details about what’s involved, time expectations and any checks needed, plus links to guidance so you know what to expect.
Get support once you start volunteering
Access resources, check-ins and a community of volunteers, so you’re not doing it alone and can keep making a difference.
Support for Charities
Share roles, improve volunteer recruitment and build a better experience for the people who join you. We work with charities, community groups and social enterprises of all sizes to make volunteering more sustainable and better supported. Whether you already involve volunteers or are just starting to think about it, we can help you shape roles, reach the right people and give volunteers a positive, well‑managed experience. You can come to us for:
Listing and shaping roles
We can help you write clear, realistic role descriptions, think through time commitment and support, and share your opportunities with people who are looking for roles that genuinely fit their lives.
Improving volunteer recruitment
We’ll work with you to think about who you want to reach, how to make your offer more inclusive and accessible, and how to communicate what makes your organisation a good place to volunteer.
Strengthening volunteer support
We can offer guidance on induction, supervision, communication, expenses and recognition – the practical foundations that help volunteers feel welcome, safe and able to stay involved.
If you’d like to work with us, you can start by listing an opportunity or getting in touch to talk about your volunteer offer and any challenges you’re facing.
