Web Portal To Support Volunteering on the Yorkshire Coast

A new online directory aims to put volunteers and groups needing volunteers in touch with each other.

While many companies have been reporting finding it difficult to recruit staff and fill vacancies, voluntary organisations are seeing a much more varied situation.

Community First Yorkshire have just launched a new online directory which aims to put volunteers and groups need volunteers in touch with each other.

Leah Furniss says the voluntary sector on the Yorkshire Coast is seeing some unusual patterns in terms of staffing.

The new website called "Volunteering in North Yorkshire" is aiming to connect people wanting to volunteer with groups in need of their help.

Leah says the idea is to embrace the flexibility that volunteers need and to make it easy to find volunteering oppertunities that match volunteers availability.

Potential volunteers can search by; geographical area, type of role or the time of day they would like to volunteer, or by the type of charity or cause they would like to support. Once they have found an opportunity they’re interested in, they can message the organisation directly to start their volunteering journey.

The website can be found at https://portal.communityfirstyorkshire.org.uk/volunteering
