All Volunteering

Retrak’s vision is a world where no child is forced to sleep on the street. This is a big challenge, and they can’t do it alone.

They are recruiting volunteers to give street children a voice and enable them to save more children’s lives.

Retrak are a Greater Manchester based international charity which relies on local support. They are partnered with Greater Manchester Police and Greater Manchester Fire Service, and now they are expanding in to the community to try and find more support for vulnerable children.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and the Chartered Accountants' Benevolent Association (CABA) have set up a website to match volunteers with financial and other skills with not for profit organisations. Organisations can post unlimited volunteering opportunities free of charge to the website, and download CVs of potential volunteers.

For over 10 years NCVO has built connections with organisations across Japan, where civil society has been playing an increasingly important role in public service delivery.

NCVO have a long-standing partnership with the Japan Association of Charitable Organisations (JACO), working together to create new opportunities for professionals and organisations from both countries.

Over the last few months, as part of Volunteer Infrastructure Project (VIP) Greater Manchester Youth Network (GMYN) have been visiting organisations, who are working with young people in the central Manchester district, to find out their experiences and hopes of involving volunteers within this delivery. The next phase of this project aims to bring these discussions forward to develop the VIP offer for the New Year, in part through two surveys (one for organisations/individual workers to complete and one for volunteers).
