St Cuthbert's Hospice’s Post

Hey, friends. Grab a seat and have a coffee. Or tea. We need to address an elephant in the room. We know that there have been some changes proposed that could very negatively affect your ability to stay solvent or keep your doors open. We saw the proposed list and know a lot of our friends are on it. We hope there's a change of heart. But whether it happens or doesn't (or partially happens), we are here to help you. If you have an account with us, paid or otherwise, you can post any and all volunteer needs with us. It costs nothing but a few minutes of your time. We even have office hours with Genevieve if you are having trouble with the technology. (Wednesdays from 1-3) If the outcome either way means you need more volunteers, that is why we exist. Registered agencies also have access to our volunteer lists. There's nearly 1500 people signed up to volunteer through us. See the chart! That volunteer that you've been searching high and low for has been drumming their fingers, waiting for you to contact them. You can do that! There is a lot going on out in the world, both inside our borders and outside. But we all win when we work together. Remember the US Army motto, TEAM. Together, Everyone Achieves More. Let us help you Achieve More. Either register your agency or sign in and peruse the lists for your perfect volunteer. https://buff.ly/48p5ewI #TimeSaving #NonprofitLife #FundingProblems #KeepCalmAndCarryOn

💯 💯 - We get more than we give! 🌟 Unlock the Power of Volunteering! 🌟 Are you ready to make a meaningful impact while boosting your well-being? Volunteering isn't just about helping others; it's also about enhancing your life. Research shows that when we lend a hand or contribute resources to those in need, our brains release feel-good endorphins, leading to what psychologists call the "helper's high." 🧠💫 Read April's The Pulse here: https://lnkd.in/gPfSSQBy #BKSThePulse #WellnessWednesday #Volunteering

Day 7: Volunteer Your Time, Talents and Treasure Today's Challenge: Volunteer your time at a local organization that supports survivors of gender-based violence. "What are your unique gifts and strengths, and how could you use them to make a difference in your community through volunteering?" Why it Matters: Volunteering is good for both your health and the world. It reduces stress, provides a sense of purpose, and fosters social connections, all of which boost mental well-being and self-esteem. Physically, it can encourage activity and teach new skills, contributing to overall health. At the same time, your efforts make a tangible difference, addressing community needs, supporting causes, and creating positive change globally. Volunteering is a win-win for personal growth and collective impact.

Quick mum update... Mum is about to surpass 3 full days of volunteering!! That is 72 hours dedicated to improving the lives of older people in her community 🥹 #BemorelikeDebby I love getting a message like this from my wonderful mum. She throws on her Volunteero merch to make her weekly calls to the older people she befriends!! 💜 When we started Volunteero, Mum jumped at the opportunity to volunteer for one of our clients... partly to support me but also partly because she had always considered volunteering but never actually managed it. Mum is not alone. I speak to people daily who say they want to volunteer but always the reasons for not doing so are the same: 1. Don't know where to get started 🤔 2. Worried it won't be flexible 🤯 3. The process is poor 🫣 This is exactly why we do what we do. We want to get the world volunteering and we want the impact of volunteering to be higher by empowering volunteers to do more! p.s. if you wonder what she is on about when talking about my dad, he spends his days investigating conspiracy theories on some sketchy TV channels. #volunteering

I did my first volunteering role around Christmas. I am not alone in thinking about volunteering around the festive period 🎄🎅🏻 We notice a decent increase in applicants around this time, as you can see from the below chart. As a charity or any organisation managing volunteers, it is worth redoubling your efforts around this time. Make sure you are as visible as ever because people are looking. Ask volunteers to tell their friends. Perhaps offer low effort entry points to volunteer on a more one off basis. Make is as easy as possible to come and help out. For many, they may dip their toe into volunteering around this time and catch the bug. At Volunteero we offer a recruitment element as part of our service. Our clients can post to our exclusive volunteering marketplace. This is on top of our market leading volunteer management platform. Our app is #1 on the App and Play Store... This is the way we believe people will find volunteering in future. If you'd like help with recruitment or volunteer management. Get in touch and learn more about what Volunteero can do for you. #volunteermanagement #volunteerrecruitment #charitydigital #volunteering
