Use the 'view all' button below to go to a stream of all volunteering opportunities on Wiltshire Together. You can use search words and tags to filter these opportunities by your interests.
Wiltshire Together is a community platform that allows community organisations to post and promote specific volunteer opportunities for their organisations.
It also allows volunteers to find opportunities that are suitable to fit around their lifestyle. The benefits of this are that opportunities can be searched by location, themes and topics that allow volunteers to find the most suitable position.
By joining as a member, volunteers can ‘log’ their volunteer hours against different organisations and organisations can do the same for their volunteers.
Having a log of the hours volunteered is useful for both the volunteer and the organisation offering the volunteering role. As a volunteer, you can print or export 'Your impact' on Wiltshire Together (a bit like a social CV) to show how much you've helped your community. This can be used for job applications, DofE awards or other such scenarios where providing evidence that you've helped others is beneficial to you.
As a volunteering organisation, logging hours completed by your volunteers is vital to understand the impact that you've achieved (and how useful Wiltshire Together was in helping you to find volunteers).
To help you understand the more in-depth use of this feature, Wessex Community Action can run training sessions on how to use Wiltshire Together to log your volunteer opportunities.
